2023 Skoda Enyaq Iv 80 — MOT failures & pass rate
476 MOT tests on the 2023 Skoda Enyaq Iv 80 are in this dataset, and 94.1% of them passed. That is effectively the same as all cars of a similar age (5.9% fail rate), so the MOT record here is unremarkable in either direction. Failures cluster in tyres, lighting & signalling and visibility.
What the MOT record shows
One area stands out: tyres, recorded in 5.3% of tests against 1.9% for the next-worst category.
At component level the recurring items are tread depth, headlamp aim and shock absorbers — tread depth alone was recorded 17 times.
Mileage is the strongest signal on the record: 3.7% of 0-30k cars fail, rising to 10.4% once past 60-90k — 2.8× the risk.
Tyres is the most common advisory, noted on 16.6% of tests — work that passed today but is likely due soon.

What to check before buying a 2023 Enyaq Iv 80
The failure pattern for this year is specific enough to inspect against: tyres accounted for 5.3% of tests. Start there.
- Tyres (5.3% 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 (1.9% of tests): Often a cheap bulb, but persistent issues can mean wiring or corrosion in the units. Typical repair: £10–£150.
- Visibility (1.1% of tests): Wipers, washers, mirrors and screen damage — usually inexpensive, but check for chips in the driver's line of sight. Typical repair: £15–£150.
Repair costs are rough UK ballpark ranges to set expectations, not quotes — actual prices vary widely by car, parts and garage.
