2021 Skoda Enyaq IV 80 Electricity · YR71 PTY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While it passed its latest test in January 2026 at 39,943 miles, this followed a failure just five weeks prior. The transition from a failure in December 2025 to a pass in January 2026 indicates that the owner only addressed faults when legally compelled by the tester, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use modern vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. There is a significant gap of 10,766 miles recorded between the December 2024 test at 29,168 miles and the December 2025 failure at 39,934 miles. This rapid accumulation suggests high-intensity use during that specific period, which correlates with the accelerated wear observed on the front-end components and lighting alignment noted in the subsequent inspection cycle. A buyer must inspect the nearside front suspension assembly specifically due to the badly distorted road wheel flagged in the December 2025 failure. A distorted wheel often results from significant impact, which can cause secondary damage to control arms, ball joints, or wheel bearings. The recurring issue with the nearside front tyre being worn on the edge suggests a persistent alignment problem or a bent component that has not been properly rectified despite the replacement of the tyre. The headlamp aim failure in late 2025 also indicates that the mounting hardware or adjustment mechanisms may be loose or damaged. Given the history of neglected consumables, a physical inspection should check for uneven tyre wear across all axles and verify that the steering geometry is free of vibration. The current record reflects an owner who ignores mechanical warning signs until an MOT failure is issued.
