Skoda Superb Sportline + Iv PHEV S A (2020)
2020 Skoda Superb Sportline + Iv PHEV S A
CarHunch analysed 189 real MOT records for the 2020 Skoda Superb Sportline + Iv PHEV S A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This Superb PHEV passes its MOT first time in 85.2% of cases—a solid 5 points ahead of the UK average—but the 26.5% of cars that have recorded a dangerous defect is a genuine concern and worth investigating when viewing a specific vehicle. The dangerous defect rate suggests structural or safety issues have cropped up in over a quarter of the fleet, so insist on a full service history and get a pre-purchase inspection by someone familiar with plug-in hybrid systems.
At 48,881 miles average across a four-year-old model, these Superbs are running moderately high mileage, and the 0.64 failures per vehicle combined with 3.5 advisories per vehicle indicates that when things do go wrong, they tend to be minor wear items rather than catastrophic failures. Before buying, specifically request MOT history for any electrical and brake-related advisories, since those are the most common problem areas on this generation—and factor in the cost of hybrid battery checks if you're not confident the previous owner maintained the system properly.
