2015 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · WT15 MLL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding mechanical neglect and deferred repairs. While the most recent test in August 2025 at 120,424 miles passed, it revealed multiple advisories including an excessive oil leak and significant tyre wear. The transition from a clean record in 2022 to frequent failures and minor advisories in later years suggests a pattern where the owner only addressed faults when they threatened an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 120,424 miles over eleven years, the Skoda Superb reflects an average usage of approximately 11,000 miles per annum, which is typical for a family vehicle of this age. The mileage accumulation is steady between test intervals, with roughly 14,000 miles covered between the 2023 and 2024 tests, and another 6,300 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This consistent use suggests the car is subjected to regular daily driving, which explains the accelerated wear on consumable components like suspension and tyres. A buyer must prioritise inspecting the front suspension and alignment, as the recurring reports of inner-edge tyre baldness in 2023 and low inner-edge wear in 2025 indicate a persistent geometry issue or worn control arms. The nearside rear shock absorber was flagged as insecure in 2024 and showed external casing damage in 2025, suggesting the component is nearing the end of its life. Furthermore, the oil leak noted in the most recent test requires a thorough under-body inspection to determine if it is a simple gasket or a more significant engine seal failure that would necessitate costly repairs. The history of ABS and electronic stability control faults in August 2024 also demands verification to ensure the underlying electronic issues were properly rectified and not merely cleared. The presence of physical damage to the rear tailgate and lamps suggests a history of minor impacts that may have affected the structural integrity of the bodywork. Given the repeated failures for tyres with exposed cords or sidew damage, the vehicle likely requires immediate expenditure on a full set of tyres to meet basic safety standards.
