2018 SKODA KAROQ1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 14 May 2025 at 24,200 miles. The maintenance trend has remained consistent since the 2023 test, with no recorded defects or advisories noted in the passing results. While the record shows initial failures in 2024 and 2025, the immediate passes on the same days suggest that minor issues were rectified quickly rather than indicating a pattern of neglect or mechanical degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,025 miles per year. Between May 2023 at 20,372 miles and May 2025 at 24,200 miles, the car covered only 3,828 miles over two years. This low usage typically indicates less wear on the drivetrain, engine, and brake components. However, long periods of standing can lead to secondary issues such as rubber degradation, flat spotted tyres, or fluid breakdown which are not always captured by the MOT tester. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focused on signs of stagnation associated with low-mileage use. Check the tyres for age-related cracking and inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting from infrequent use. Given the low annual mileage, verify that the service history reflects annual oil changes based on time rather than just distance to ensure engine integrity remains sound. The lack of structural advisories in the record suggests the chassis remains in good condition for its age.
