2018 Skoda Superb 2.0L Diesel · WV18 FRD

The 2018 SKODA SUPERB presents a fundamentally weak roadworthiness profile for a used car, as the MOT history reveals a consistent and deteriorating trend that indicates the vehicle has suffered from severe mechanical degradation. The tester flagged binding rear brakes and structural integrity issues in the September 2023 test at 77,965 miles, which is the most recent recorded failure and confirms that the vehicle's mechanical health has declined significantly since the 2022-10-17 inspection. This pattern of binding brakes and structural damage suggests that basic upkeep and maintenance were completely skipped during the ownership period, leading to the accumulation of wear that has now reached critical levels. The mileage accumulation is starkly disproportionate to the vehicle's age, as the record shows a rapid increase in miles per year from 92,604 to 77,965. This gap in the history suggests that the owner likely maintained the car at a very low level of effort and frequency, resulting in the vehicle being driven for an extended period without any scheduled service. The high mileage combined with the severe braking issues indicates that the drivetrain components, including the suspension and wheels, are likely compromised, and the vehicle is now in a state of severe risk where minor repairs would require significant investment. Given the severe structural and mechanical risks identified, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to confirm the presence of binding brakes and any other mechanical faults. The vehicle's history indicates that the owner has failed twice on tyre tread, which strongly implies that basic upkeep was completely neglected and that the vehicle is now in a state of severe risk. While the MOT has passed at the most recent test, the underlying mechanical conditions have deteriorated beyond any reasonable expectation, making the car a dangerous asset for any potential buyer.
