What the MOT record shows
Tyres dominates the failure mix at 5.9% of all tests — 4.2 points clear of lighting & signalling, so it is the first thing to check.
At component level the recurring items are tread depth, headlamp aim and shock absorbers — tread depth alone was recorded 262 times.
Mileage is the strongest signal on the record: 7.4% of 0-30k cars fail, rising to 13.5% once past 120-150k.
Advisories point at the next bill rather than this one: tyres was flagged on 22.2% of tests without failing them.
The trend is worsening — 4.6% of tests failed in 2023 against 9.2% in 2025, the usual pattern as a fleet ages.

What to check before buying a Skoda Enyaq Iv 60
- Tyres (5.9% of tests): Usually a quick, known-cost fix, but check tread, age and uneven wear (which can hint at alignment or suspension issues). Typical repair: £50–£120 per tyre.
- Lighting & signalling (1.7% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Suspension (1.5% of tests): Worn drop links, bushes, springs or shocks — listen for knocks over bumps and check for uneven tyre wear. Typical repair: £150–£450 per corner.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
