2013 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · SK63 MTO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift towards wear-related components at high mileage. The most recent test in May 2022 at 191,620 miles identified worn suspension arm bushes on both the nearsside sides. While this did not result in an immediate failure, it indicates that the front suspension geometry is reaching the end of its functional life due to the heavy usage patterns recorded. The mileage profile is consistently high for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 14,700 miles per annum. The record shows a period of activity between April 2021 and May 2022, where the car covered over 9,000 miles in just thirteen months. This sustained high-frequency use places significant stress on the drivetrain and chassis components. The failure in May 2020 for thin front brake pads suggests that while the vehicle is driven regularly, consumable-part service intervals may have lagged behind the actual rate of wear. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the worn bushes noted in 2022 are likely to cause steering precision issues and uneven tyre wear if not replaced. Given the nearly 200,000 mile reading, attention should also be paid to potential leaks in shock absorbers and the condition of the subframe for structural corrosion. The braking system requires a check for binding calipers or thin discs, following the previous history of inadequate pad thickness.
