2022 Skoda Scala SE Technology TSI 1.0L Petrol · WM72 NYD

The most recent MOT, carried out on 8 December 2025, was passed but flagged that both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit and showed edge wear. This is the only recorded defect, so the vehicle has otherwise been clean in its MOT history. With just a single MOT entry the pattern cannot be said to be worsening or improving; the only observable issue is the front‑tyre wear. Because the car is four years old but has only 17,600 mi on the clock (about 4,400 mi per year), the low mileage suggests relatively light use. That can be positive for overall component life, but it also means the tyres may have been on the car for a long time, increasing the risk of dry‑rot or loss of grip even if the tread depth is still legal. Low mileage does not guarantee low wear on consumables, especially if the car has spent long periods standing. For a buyer the priority is to inspect the front tyres closely. Check the tread depth with a gauge, look for any cracking, side‑wall bulges or uneven wear that could indicate suspension or alignment issues. Verify the tyre manufacture date (the four‑digit code on the sidewall) – tyres older than six years should be replaced regardless of tread depth. While you are there, also examine the rear tyres, brakes (pads and discs), and the condition of the suspension bushes, as any hidden wear may become apparent once the front tyres are changed.
