Our Verdict
Proceed with confidence, but ensure all
When inspecting this specific vehicle, verify that the repairs noted in the September 2024 MOT failure—specifically the front tyres, the offside front shock absorber, and the rear brake discs—were not just passed as advisories but actually replaced. Ask for receipts to confirm these specific components were attended to.
Given the 2024 failure regarding the nearside rear tyre being incorrectly fitted, check the sidewall markings on all four tyres to ensure they are correctly sized and installed. You should also ask if the undertrays mentioned in the 2024 MOT have been inspected for any damage that might affect component visibility or cooling.
As a 1.5L petrol model, this Kodiaq is likely to sit in a moderate insurance group and tax band. Fuel economy for this engine size is generally efficient for a vehicle of this class, though actual MPG will depend on load and driving style.
Maintenance costs for Skoda models typically align with mainstream manufacturers. Expect routine servicing costs to be predictable, but keep in mind that the 2024 MOT history suggests that wear-and-tear items like tyres, brakes, and suspension components will be part of your regular budget.
Focus your inspection on the suspension and braking system. The 2024 MOT record specifically flagged light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber; check that there are no active leaks or dampness around the strut. Examine the rear brake discs for any signs of pitting or scoring, as this was a recorded issue in the previous year.
Additionally, inspect the condition of the front tyres for any cracking or perishing, as well as the underside of the vehicle. The 2024 MOT noted that undertrays were fitted in a way that reduced visibility of some components; ensure these are securely fastened and not obstructing any mechanical inspections.
This silver 1.5L petrol Skoda Kodiaq has covered 22,463 miles since its first registration in September 2020. While the 2024 MOT history showed several defects including tyre wear, shock absorber misting, and brake disc pitting, the most recent test in October 2025 recorded no defects. The mileage is notably lower than the model average of 9,778 miles per year.
The Skoda Kodiaq shows a strong aggregate MOT pass rate of 90.4% across nearly 40,000 analysed vehicles, with common failure points being tyres, suspension arms, and brake discs.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: SKODA KODIAQ
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- Water Pump / Thermostat Housing Leak(Moderate)
The usual MQB cooling-system weak point can cause slow coolant loss long before there is an obvious puddle.
- DSG Low-speed Judder(Moderate)
Urban use and missed servicing can leave DSG Kodiaqs shunting, hesitating or feeling inconsistent at parking speeds.
- DSG (DQ381 / DQ500) Sensor Failure(Serious)
Wet-clutch DSG units in the Kodiaq (DQ381 and the heavy-duty DQ500) can suffer from internal sensor failures (P1735/P1736 or G182/G195), leading to emergency mode.
- NOx Sensor / AdBlue Faults(Moderate)
Diesel emissions hardware can trigger warning lights and restart countdowns on otherwise healthy-feeling cars.
