2019 Skoda Kodiaq 1.5L Petrol · SO68 LHM

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently assessed as poor , as the MOT record indicates a distinct failure of the rear near-side tyre ply or cords. The most recent test on 2026-02-06 at 64,042 miles was passed, but this is followed by a failed test on 2024-02-13 at 38,376 miles, marking a significant gap in the maintenance history. The failure of the rear tyre ply or cords is a critical structural risk that requires immediate attention, as this specific defect is a known cause of wheel failure and can compromise the vehicle's structural integrity. The mileage trajectory suggests a pattern of rapid accumulation that may indicate poor maintenance habits. The vehicle has experienced a gap between the 2026 and 2024 tests, yet the mileage has not dropped significantly in the intervening period, suggesting that the vehicle may have been driving for extended periods or that consumption rates are not being monitored effectively. This rapid mileage increase, combined with the failure of the rear tyre, points to a lack of basic upkeep, such as timely tyre rotation or changing tyres before they reach the limit, which is a common cause of these specific tyre failures. A buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to identify the specific condition of the rear near-side tyre and any associated structural issues. Given the history of failing the rear tyre ply or cords, the buyer must verify whether the tyre has been replaced or if the wear pattern indicates imminent failure. Furthermore, the vehicle requires a thorough check of the suspension bushings and coil springs, as these components are prone to failure under the weight of the rear axle and are frequently involved in the failure of the rear tyre. If the rear tyre is found to be in poor condition, the vehicle should be moved to a specialist body shop for a complete suspension and tyre overhaul to prevent further wear.
