2023 Skoda Kodiaq Sportline TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · YC23 FMD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive maintenance. While the Skoda passed its January 19 2026 test at 29,875 miles, the tester flagged multiple advisories regarding thin rear brake pads and both front tyres reaching the legal limit. This represents a worsening trend compared to the clean records from 2024, suggesting that consumable components are now reaching the end of their service life. Mileage accumulation remains consistent with a three-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,000 miles per annum. The data shows steady progression from 16,554 miles in April 2024 to 21,069 miles in November of that year, followed by an additional nearly 9,000 miles before the January 2026 test. This regular usage suggests the car has not been subject to long periods of standing, which generally benefits the health of rubber seals and fluid components within the mechanical system. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension, as the uneven edge wear noted on the offside and nearside front tyres in 2026 indicates potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. The thinning of the rear brake pads necessitates a thorough check of the disc surfaces to ensure no glazing or scoring has occurred. Given the lack of structural defects in previous tests, the primary concerns remain the immediate replacement of these wear items and the verification of the wheel geometry to prevent premature tyre degradation.
