2022 Skoda Kodiaq 1.5L Petrol · YP22 OPW

A progressive trend of wear on consumables and chassis components defines the roadworthiness record of this vehicle. While the latest test on 2026-04-27 resulted in a pass, the advisories have shifted from front-end suspension and tyre damage in 2025 to a general degradation of the rear braking system. This indicates a transition toward a period of necessary component replacement to maintain the vehicle's current standard of roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 43,555 miles over approximately four years represents a typical annual accumulation rate of roughly 10,889 miles. This usage pattern suggests consistent road use rather than prolonged periods of inactivity or extreme high-mileage stress. Mechanically, this level of use typically aligns with the expected wear cycles for brake pads and suspension bushes, as evidenced by the specific advisories recorded in the MOT history. Attention is required regarding the rear braking system, as the April 2026 test flagged thin brake pads and pitted or scored discs on both the nearside and offside rear. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for grinding noises or feel for any vibration through the brake pedal during deceleration. The presence of pitting and scoring on the discs suggests that the rear brakes may require full replacement rather than a simple pad change to ensure optimal stopping performance. The 2025 record highlighted a worn rear bush on the nearside front lower suspension arm, alongside cuts to both front tyres. While these were listed as advisories, the buyer should check for any steering instability or audible knocks when driving over speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, which would indicate the suspension bush has deteriorated further. A physical inspection of the front tyre sidewalls and treads is necessary to ensure the previously noted cuts have not expanded or compromised the structural integrity of the casings.
