2022 Skoda Kodiaq SE Drive TSI

CarHunch analysed 133 real MOT records for the 2022 Skoda Kodiaq SE Drive TSI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Skoda Kodiaq SE Drive TSI is a reliably built car, with a first-time MOT pass rate of 91.2% well ahead of the UK average of 80%, and only 9% of vehicles ever flagged for dangerous defects—a reassuringly low figure for buyer peace of mind. This is a petrol engine model that's delivering on Skoda's reputation for solid engineering at this early stage of ownership.

These cars are running around 26,700 miles median at test time, which is typical for two-year-old vehicles, and the low failure rate of just 0.11 per car suggests owners aren't facing unexpected repair bills. You'll see roughly one advisory per vehicle on average—mostly minor wear items—so before buying, request the full MOT history to check what those advisories have been, and budget for small consumables rather than structural problems.

What to check before buying a 2022 Skoda Kodiaq SE Drive TSI

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.
