Source: DS Auto Labs analysis of DVSA's anonymised 2025 MOT test results (Open Government Licence v3.0): 44,635 first-time tests of Skoda Kodiaq cars of all ages (test class 4, cars and light vans). A pass means a clean first-time pass; a car that failed and was repaired at the test station before passing counts as not passed, and aborted tests are excluded. Age is the car's age at the 2025 test.
What to know
In 2025, Skoda Kodiaq cars passed their MOT first time 87.3% of the time, across 44,635 tests. That is 11.0 points above Skoda's overall brand average of 76.3% and 14.9 points above the national average of 72.4%.
Age explains much of the difference between models. Pass rates fall steeply as cars get older, for every make, so a model with many old cars on the road looks worse than it is, and a recent model looks better. This compares the Skoda Kodiaq with the typical UK car of the same age.
| Car age | Skoda Kodiaq | All UK cars | Tests |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-5 years | 88.9% | 87.2% | 21,572 |
| 6-9 years | 85.6% | 79.3% | 22,381 |
Allowing for the age mix of the cars tested, a typical UK car would be expected to pass about 83.3% of the time. The Skoda Kodiaq passed at 87.3%, which is 4.0 points above that expected rate.
