2022 Skoda Enyaq IV 60 Electricity · SY72 RYF

The Skoda Enyaq IV 60 currently holds a valid MOT following the November 2025 test at 22,130 miles, though the maintenance trend suggests deferred attention to consumables. The vehicle failed on 2025-11-14 at 22,128 miles due to both front tyres worn close to the legal limit and an Offside Rear service brake lagging in operation. Passing four days later on 2025-11-18 indicates the primary failure points were addressed, yet the tester still flagged both front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge during the pass. This anomaly suggests either a retest before new tyres were installed or the fitting of part-worn replacements. The recurring tyre edge wear points to potential alignment drift or chronic underinflation rather than simple consumable degradation. Covering approximately 5,532 miles per year, this Enyaq has seen exceptionally light use for a four-year-old vehicle. The recorded mileage increased by only two miles between the 2025-11-14 and 2025-11-18 tests, confirming minimal recent operation. Prolonged standing often leads to specific mechanical issues, such as flat-spotted tyres and sticking brake calipers, which aligns with the recent failure for a lagging service brake and the edge wear observed on the front tyres. Sparse mileage data prevents a long-term wear analysis, but the current figures suggest a pattern of short, infrequent journeys. A physical inspection must prioritize the front suspension geometry and braking components. Edge wear on the front tyres typically indicates incorrect tracking or worn suspension bushes, requiring a thorough check of the front subframe and wishbone conditions. The Offside Rear service brake lagging in operation raises concerns about a binding caliper or a sticking handbrake mechanism. Inspect the rear brake discs for scoring and the caliper slides for corrosion, as low-mileage electric vehicles frequently suffer from handbrake seizing due to lack of regular use. Evaluating the structural integrity of the undercarriage for corrosion from long stationary periods remains prudent.
