2017 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · WR67 FAF

This 2017 Skoda Superb presents a clean MOT record with no defects recorded across four tests, indicating a stable and well-maintained vehicle. The most recent test on 20 June 2025 at 96,628 miles passed with zero advisories or failures, a strong indicator of current roadworthiness. The absence of recurring faults suggests the previous owner addressed consumable items proactively and kept the car in sound mechanical condition. The mileage pattern reveals a notable gap between the October 2020 test at 40,363 miles and the May 2022 test at 55,017 miles, covering roughly 14,654 miles in about 19 months. This is consistent with a return to regular use after a period of lighter driving or possible storage. From May 2022 to July 2023, the car added 14,693 miles in 14 months, and from July 2023 to June 2025, it recorded 26,918 miles over nearly two years, averaging around 13,459 miles annually. This is slightly above the typical 10,736 miles per year for its age, pointing to sustained motorway or long-distance use, which generally favours engine and drivetrain health but accelerates wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, and tyres. Despite the clean record, a buyer should inspect the underside for corrosion on subframes, suspension mounting points, and brake lines, as these are common failure points on higher-mileage VAG-platform vehicles. Check the condition of the front and rear coil springs, drop links, and anti-roll bar bushes for play or cracking, and examine the brake discs and pads for uneven wear or lipping. The exhaust system and DPF, if fitted, should be assessed for leaks or soot staining, particularly given the sustained higher-mileage use. Tyre condition and date codes deserve attention, as uneven wear could hint at alignment or suspension geometry issues not yet flagged by a tester. The clean MOT history is reassuring, but it does not substitute for a thorough physical inspection. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified technician, including a road test and diagnostic scan, will confirm whether the mechanical condition matches the paperwork. Pay particular attention to the DSG gearbox service history if applicable, as missed intervals on this drivetrain can lead to costly failures that an MOT does not detect.
