2021 Skoda Kodiaq SE Drive TDI Scr S A
CarHunch analysed 122 real MOT records for the 2021 Skoda Kodiaq SE Drive TDI Scr S A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2021 Kodiaq diesel scores well in the MOT box, with an 88.6% first-time pass rate that sits comfortably ahead of the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are rare, appearing in only 9.8% of vehicles tested. It's a trustworthy performer so far.
At just over 40,000 miles median, these cars are still relatively young, which partly explains the strong reliability picture. The average of 0.23 failures per vehicle is excellent, though advisories run a bit higher at 2.3 each, suggesting minor wear items crop up but nothing critical—when you're shopping for one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on suspension and brakes to catch these early.
What to check before buying a 2021 Skoda Kodiaq SE Drive TDI Scr S A
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
