2017 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Diesel · SE17 POJ

The 2017 Skoda Kodiaq currently holds a valid MOT certificate following its test on 14 May 2025 at 93,142 miles, confirming its present roadworthiness. The maintenance trend remains stable, with the record indicating a pattern of same-day failures and passes. The identical mileage recorded for both the failed and passed tests on 14 May 2025, and similarly on 22 and 23 May 2024, suggests minor defects were rectified immediately during a retest. This pattern points to prompt, if somewhat reactive, remedial work rather than ongoing mechanical neglect or worsening faults. The mileage accumulation tells a story of accelerating use. Between the June 2023 test at 55,988 miles and the May 2024 test at 73,916 miles, the vehicle covered 17,928 miles in under a year. This intensity increased further over the following twelve months, adding 19,226 miles to reach the current 93,142 miles. This recent high-mileage usage significantly exceeds the vehicle's lifetime average of roughly 10,349 miles per year, indicating a period of sustained, heavy driving, likely involving long motorway commutes. Given this recent high-intensity usage, a buyer must inspect the suspension and drivetrain components for accelerated wear. Check the suspension bushes, drop links, and coil springs for deterioration, and examine the brake discs and calipers for scoring or binding. The underbody and structural mounting points require a rigorous inspection for corrosion, as high mileage can expedite rust formation on older steel components. While the MOT record itself lacks recurring mechanical advisories, the sheer volume of miles covered in the last two years means consumable components may have been replaced multiple times. Verify the condition of the current tyres and ensure the exhaust emissions remain stable, as high-speed driving can mask intermittent engine faults that only manifest in urban driving conditions.
