2022 Skoda Superb SE L TDI 2.0L Diesel · SC72 FBE

The 2022 Skoda Superb SE L TDI currently holds a valid MOT pass certificate dated 25 August 2025, recorded at 30,696 miles. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but shows a minor recurring suspension concern. Both front shock absorbers were flagged for light oil misting during the initial test on that date, and although the vehicle passed shortly after on the same day at the identical mileage, the advisory remained unresolved. Rear brake pads were also noted as wearing thin during the failed test, suggesting a consumable replacement was likely carried out prior to the pass. No further MOT entries exist beyond August 2025, meaning the current certificate is now ten months old and due for renewal in approximately two months. The mileage pattern is straightforward and consistent with typical use. The vehicle has covered roughly 30,696 miles over approximately four years, averaging around 7,674 miles per year. There are no significant gaps or sudden spikes in the recorded data, and the single recorded mileage point of 30,696 miles appearing across both the failed and passed tests on the same day confirms a standard retest scenario rather than a period of heavy additional use. The record is sparse but clean, with no anomalies suggesting long periods of inactivity or unusually rapid accumulation. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on the front suspension and braking components. The repeated advisory regarding light oil misting on both nearside and offside front shock absorbers warrants close examination for progressive fluid loss, deteriorating top mounts, or worn suspension bushes. Have a technician check for play in the front struts and assess whether the misting has developed into active leaking. The rear brake pads were flagged as wearing thin at the last test, so verify the current pad thickness and inspect the rear brake discs for scoring or lipping. Given the vehicle's age and mileage, also check the condition of all four tyres, including sidewall integrity and tread depth, as the previous failure involved a below-minimum tread depth on the nearside front and an edge-worn offside front tyre.
