How many Skoda Kodiaq cars are left?

At the end of 2026 Q1, DfT recorded 80,146 licensed and 587 SORN vehicles in the UK within the Skoda Kodiaq generic-model group.

Is the Kodiaq disappearing?

80,146 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the Kodiaq is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them. That is up 152% in the five years since 2021 Q1.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

When it shows up in the statistics

Skoda Kodiaq first appears in the published DfT series in 2017 Q1. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.

Kodiaq MOT pass rate

In 2024, 88% of 30,630 Skoda Kodiaq MOTs passed first time — above the 71.2% UK average. Pass rate moves with age: 88.5% of cars aged 3–5 years passed first time, against 87.2% aged 6–9 years.

• Condition — 2.8% of tests. Corrosion, damage or wear on a tested component. Worth seeing in person, as the cost ranges from trivial to structural.
• Mechanical Brake Components — 2.3% of tests. Worn discs, pads or callipers. Routine wear, but it should be priced into the deal.
• Suspension Arms — 1.6% of tests. Worn arms or bushes. A common age-related repair that affects handling and tyre wear.
• Tread Depth — 1.3% of tests. Tyres below the 1.6mm legal limit. Budget for tyres, and treat it as a sign of how the car was maintained.
