2021 Skoda Enyaq IV 60 Electricity · SL71 BWN

The most recent MOT, carried out on 8 April 2026, returned a Pass with no recorded defects, and this outcome is consistent with the three preceding tests in 2025 and 2024, all of which also passed without comment. The uninterrupted series of clean certificates indicates a stable maintenance regime and suggests that no significant mechanical or safety‑related issues have been identified by the DVSA over the past two years. There is no evidence of a deteriorating trend, and the vehicle appears to have been kept in a condition that meets the statutory roadworthiness standards. At 48 150 miles on the clock, the Enyaq averages roughly 9 600 miles per annum since its first registration in 2021. This usage figure sits comfortably within the typical range for a five‑year‑old family SUV and does not point to excessive wear. There are no large mileage gaps in the MOT record that would imply prolonged periods of inactivity, so the wear on consumables such as tyres, suspension bushings and brake components should be in line with normal calendar and mileage depreciation rather than accelerated fatigue. For a prospective buyer the primary checks should focus on age‑related deterioration rather than mileage‑driven failure. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking, dry rot or uneven wear patterns that could indicate mis‑alignment or worn suspension components; the Enyaq’s low rolling resistance tyres are still subject to perishing if stored for long periods. Examine the wheel bearings and suspension joints for any play or clunking when the vehicle is rocked and while driving over bumps, as rubber bushings can harden with age. Verify that the brake discs are free of deep rust spots and that the calipers move smoothly, remembering that regenerative braking reduces pad wear but does not eliminate the need for periodic visual inspection. A visual check of the under‑body for corrosion, especially around the battery pack mounting points and chassis rails, is advisable given the vehicle’s exposure to road salt over several winters. Because the Enyaq is an electric model, special attention should be given to the high‑voltage battery health and the 12 V auxiliary system. Request a recent battery state‑of‑health report from the dealer or a qualified service centre; a capacity loss of more than 10 % of the original rating would be a concern for range. Test the charging port for secure fitment, absence of moisture ingress and proper operation of the onboard charger indicator. Confirm that the 12 V battery terminals are clean and that the battery holds charge for at least 24 hours, as a weak auxiliary battery can affect electronic stability controls and door lock operation. Finally, ensure that the vehicle’s service book shows regular software updates and that any remaining factory warranty on the battery and drivetrain is still in force, which will provide additional protection against premature component failure.
