2019 Skoda Kodiaq MOT pass rate: 88.9% (25,883 tests)
Is the 2019 Kodiaq getting worse?
Pass rate of 2019-registered cars across recent test years:
| Test year | Pass rate | |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 90.6% +0.9 vs same-age |
|
| 2024 | 88.9% +0.5 vs same-age |
|
| 2025 | 87.1% +0.1 vs same-age |
The raw rate normally falls as cars age. The “vs same-age” figure compares this cohort with all UK cars registered in the same year, so normal ageing is not mistaken for a bad model year.

What mileage is too high for a 2019 Kodiaq?
