Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2022 Skoda Kodiaq Sportline TSI S A?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

What corrosion should I look for when inspecting a 2022 Skoda Kodiaq Sportline TSI S A?

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

How are tyres and brakes typically on a 2022 Skoda Kodiaq Sportline TSI S A?

Tyres and brakes are the most common advisory items on vehicles of this age. Budget for replacement if they are near the limit, and factor this into your offer price.

Is the 2022 Skoda Kodiaq Sportline TSI S A reliable?

Based on MOT data from 1,344 vehicles, the 2022 Skoda Kodiaq Sportline TSI S A has a first-time MOT pass rate of 94.3%, indicating generally reliable for its class. Always check the full MOT history of any specific vehicle before buying.

Do I need an HPI check when buying a 2022 Skoda Kodiaq Sportline TSI S A?

Yes. The MOT history will not show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status. An HPI check covers these areas and should be part of any used car purchase.

This 2022 Skoda Kodiaq Sportline TSI is a genuinely reliable proposition: its 92% first-time pass rate sits 12 percentage points above the UK average, and only 6% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect—well below the threshold for concern. The petrol engine delivers consistent results across the board.

At just under 28,000 miles on average, these are relatively lightly-used examples for their age, which partly explains the strong performance, but the real story is in the low failure count: 0.11 failures per vehicle means most cars need almost nothing fixing between MOTs. When you do buy one, check the service history and the condition of the 1.1 advisory items per vehicle typically flagged (usually wear items like brakes or wipers)—the Kodiaq's track record suggests those are the only surprises you'll face.

The 2022 Skoda Kodiaq Sportline TSI S A passes its MOT first time more often than most UK vehicles (94.3% vs ~80% average) — and when it does fail, it's usually something minor and cheap to fix.

⚠️ Around 1 in 20 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

For context

✅ Good baseline reliability. A 94.3% first-time pass rate puts this well above the UK average — it's a well-sorted vehicle in this age bracket.

🔍 The dangerous defect figure is real. Most are one-off tyre failures or brake issues — not structural problems. But it's exactly why checking the individual vehicle's history is essential, not optional.

These stats describe 1,344 vehicles as a group. The specific vehicle you're looking at could be the one good example or the one outlier. Run its registration to find out.
