2026 Skoda Kodiaq L AND K TSI 4X4 SA 2.0L Petrol · YL10 LOL

A spotless MOT record across three consecutive annual tests signals a consistently clean road‑worthiness profile for this 2026 Skoda Kodiaq L‑and‑K TSI 4x4 SA, with the most recent assessment on 7 July 2025 confirming a pass with no recorded defects. The absence of any advisories or failures in the 2023, 2024 and 2025 examinations suggests that, to date, the vehicle’s principal safety‑critical systems have remained within acceptable limits. At 31 500 miles the kilometre‑per‑year accumulation averages just over 10 000 miles, which aligns with typical usage for a relatively new model and shows no evidence of accelerated wear. The MOT history presents a regular yearly testing cadence with no gaps, indicating that the car has been driven consistently rather than sitting idle for extended periods, a factor that generally supports the preservation of engine, transmission and suspension health. Although the MOT data reveal no specific faults, a prudent buyer should still verify the condition of components that commonly begin to show wear after the first few hundred thousand miles. On a test drive, listen for any metallic clunk or knock when traversing bumps, which could hint at deteriorating suspension bushes or worn tie‑rod ends. Observe steering response for any pull to one side, and feel the brake pedal for any sponginess or judder under moderate pressure, as these sensations can precede disc or caliper issues that have not yet manifested as MOT‑recordable defects. Given the clean record, the next areas to monitor are tyre tread depth and uniformity, exhaust emissions under load, and the integrity of the under‑body anti‑rust coating, especially around wheel arches and sills where corrosion can develop unnoticed. A thorough visual inspection of the brake discs for scoring, the condition of the drive shafts for any vibration, and a check of the coolant level and hoses for signs of leaks will provide additional confidence that the vehicle will continue to meet future MOT standards without unexpected surprises.
