2017 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · TY10 CAB

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening trajectory regarding consumable upkeep. While the most recent test on 20 May 2026 at 146,203 miles passed, it flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as worn close to the legal limit and edged. This continues a pattern of neglect seen in the February 2025 test at 109,295 miles, where three tyres showed similar issues. The mileage profile is high for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging over 16,000 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between February 2024 (80,043 miles) and February 2025 (109,295 miles), representing nearly 30,000 miles driven in a single twelve months. This rapid accumulation, combined with the total distance of 146,203 miles, suggests the car sees heavy long-distance use which typically places accelerated stress on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the geometry and suspension bushings, as the recurring mention of uneven tyre wear across multiple tests suggests potential issues with alignment, worn control arms, or shocks. Given the high mileage, the brake system should be checked for binding calipers or thin discs that the MOT does not capture. While no structural corrosion has appeared in the records, the consistent failure to replace tyres indicates that the owner has historically deferred basic maintenance until a test failure was imminent.
