2009 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · VF59 NTM

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on May 27, 2026, but only after failing a day earlier due to a fractured nearside rear coil spring. There is a clear and recurring pattern of corrosion affecting the rear suspension arms. This issue has been flagged as an advisory since June 2025 and persists on the latest MOT certificate, indicating that the rust is ongoing and has not been treated. The overall condition trend for the suspension and chassis appears to be worsening. The progression from corrosion advisories to a structural failure of a coil spring suggests that the rear suspension components are deteriorating. The recorded mileage of 139,447 miles is typical for a 17-year-old vehicle. This suggests a consistent history of use, which generally implies standard wear and tear on the drivetrain, brakes, and suspension consumables rather than issues caused by long periods of standing. A buyer should first perform a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension and underbody to assess the extent of the corrosion. You should also verify the quality of the recent coil spring repair and check for any remaining noise from the nearside rear wheel bearing, which was previously noted as an issue.
