2019 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Diesel · SE68 LUB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in February 2026 at 125,695 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional horn, incorrect headlamp aim, and front tyres. While the vehicle passed upon immediate retest, the recurring nature of tyre issues suggests the owner only addresses faults when they trigger an MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative checks. At 125,695 miles over seven years, this Skoda has seen significantly high usage, averaging approximately 18,000 miles per annum. There is a notable surge in usage between the February 2023 test (47,878 miles) and the March 2024 test (95,161 miles), where it covered nearly 47,000 miles in just fourteen months. This high rate of operation places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking components, which aligns with the consistent wear patterns noted throughout the record. A buyer must inspect the front end alignment and suspension geometry, as the repeated reports of tyres worn on the edges in 2023, 2025, and 2026 indicate a persistent misalignment or worn suspension bushes. The high-mileage profile also necessitates a thorough check of the brake discs for thinning and the calipers for binding, given the heavy annual mileage. The previously failed headlamp aim in February 2026 suggests that the mounting brackets may be loose or damaged, which should be verified to ensure the lighting setup remains secure and compliant.
