Skoda Kodiaq buying guide (Ireland, 2026)
What a used Skoda Kodiaq costs in Ireland, how it does at the NCT, what goes wrong and what it costs to fix. Based on 853 for sale right now.
Our take on the Skoda Kodiaq
A 2023 Skoda Kodiaq typically advertises at €40,950 and a 2018 one at €22,950, so it loses roughly 11% of its value a year at that age. Most for sale are diesels (83%), which suit longer, regular drives; for mostly short trips a petrol is the safer buy. At the NCT, the 2017–2022 cars do better than other cars the same year. The 2.0 diesel is the most common engine (95% of those with a known engine), and it usually lasts around 350k km.

Common Skoda Kodiaq problems
Known weak spots to check before you buy, with typical Irish garage costs if the problem is there.
Automatic gearbox health · €300–€2,500
Make sure the gear changes are smooth when warm, check for a gearbox warning light and ask if the gearbox oil was ever changed.
Timing belt history · €350–€700
Ask when the timing belt and water pump were last done (usually every 160,000 km or 5–6 years). No proof = budget for it.
Engines and how long they last
| Engine | Usually lasts | Motor tax / year | For sale |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.0 Diesel | ~350k km | ~€200 | 586 |
| 1.5 Hybrid | ~300k km | ~€180 | 21 |
| 1.5 Petrol | ~300k km | ~€270 | 9 |
"Usually lasts" is the mileage these engines commonly reach before major work; service history matters more than the number.
