Skoda Kodiaqs aged 5 to 6 doing under 5,000 miles a year failed first time in 6.5% of tests, against 12.0% for those doing 8,000 to 12,000 miles (2019–2024, n = 3,003).

Skoda Kodiaqs aged 5 are forecast to keep taking MOTs for at least 1.4 more years; the survival curve is observed only until age 7, so the true figure is likely higher.

14.2% of Skoda Kodiaqs that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 10.4% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 1,765). The failure most likely to come back is ‘noise, emissions and leaks’: 14.9% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

Of every 100 Skoda Kodiaqs tested at age 5, about 13 failed the MOT first time; at age 7, about 14. These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time (2024).

In the Netherlands, 24.8% of Skoda Kodiaqs failed their periodic roadworthiness inspection, against 50.8% for all cars there (2024 by country, n = 5,847 inspections).
Inspections abroad point the same way: in Norway, Finland and the Netherlands the Skoda Kodiaq also fails less often than the national average.

Skoda Kodiaqs fail first time most in May (10.9%, against 28.8% for all cars that month) and least in March (9.6%) (2024, n = 37,481).
The month of the MOT makes little difference for the Skoda Kodiaq.

How the MOT Risk Index and every figure on this page are calculated: methodology.
What is wrong on this page? One tap sends the category only, no text and nothing about you.
88.1% of first attempts passed in 2024 (37,481 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.
Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 37,481 primary tests: 11.9% failed first time and 90.1% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 77.1 is shown separately.
