2021 Skoda Kodiaq 2.0L Petrol · SF70 PFD

The 2021 Skoda Kodiaq remains in a generally sound mechanical state, though its maintenance trend shows a slight deterioration regarding front suspension wear. In the most recent test on 2025-11-26 at 38,626 miles, the tester flagged worn Nearside Front and Offside Front suspension arm pins or bushes. While these components had not yet resulted in excessive movement at the time of testing, their degradation marks a shift from the completely clean record noted exactly a year prior. This indicates a developing wear pattern typical of the vehicle's age rather than a sudden mechanical failure. The recorded mileage of 38,626 miles translates to an average of roughly 7,725 miles per year, a typical figure for a vehicle of this age. The MOT history reveals a steady accumulation of miles, with the odometer advancing from 29,223 miles on 2024-11-13 to 38,626 miles on 2025-11-26, representing an increase of 9,403 miles over that twelve-month period. There are no alarming gaps in the testing schedule that would suggest the vehicle stood idle for extended periods. Prospective buyers must physically inspect the front suspension components before committing to a purchase. The advisories from the November 2025 test specifically cite worn front suspension arm pins or bushes. A thorough evaluation of these bushes is necessary to check for splitting or deterioration beyond the threshold of excessive movement. Buyers should also examine the inner edges of the front tyres for uneven wear, which often accompanies degraded suspension components. The front end requires careful scrutiny to ensure these wear items have not worsened significantly since the late 2025 test.
