2011 Skoda Superb 1.4L Petrol · WF11 LUO

The vehicle presents a concerning maintenance trend regarding structural integrity. While the October 2025 test at 132,431 miles resulted in a pass, the recurring advisory for a corroded rear sub-frame indicates an ongoing issue. This specific fault first appeared in the October 2024 test at 129,630 miles and has persisted into the most recent inspection. Although the tester noted the corrosion is not yet seriously weakened, the presence of this advisory in consecutive years suggests the oxidation is a stable but progressive condition that requires close monitoring. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with the vehicle's age. The car has covered approximately 132,431 miles over its 15-year lifespan, averaging roughly 8,800 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, with the mileage increasing by 2,800 miles between October 2024 and October 2025, and a larger jump of 7,412 miles between November 2023 and October 2024. This pattern suggests regular, predictable driving rather than long periods of inactivity or excessive heavy-duty use. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the underside to assess the extent of the rear sub-frame corrosion. While the MOT records show the vehicle passed, the repeated mention of structural corrosion means the metal's thickness and the presence of any scaling should be verified. The October 2024 record also flagged a severely deteriorated offside drive shaft constant velocity boot, which likely required replacement to secure the pass; checking the condition of all CV boots and the integrity of the drivetrain is advisable. Minor consumable issues have appeared sporadically in the history. The December 2022 failure at 116,795 miles highlighted tyre issues, specifically a damaged offside front tyre and an incorrectly fitted nearside rear tyre. While these are standard maintenance items, they suggest a period where basic upkeep was neglected. Given the age of the vehicle and the reported sub-frame issues, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and mounting points is necessary to ensure the corrosion has not impacted the vehicle's handling or structural stability.
