2019 Skoda Karoq 1.6L Diesel · AD68 KMX

The 2019 Skoda Karoq presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 4 November 2025 at 96,418 miles with zero defects recorded. This follows a period of consistent, defect-free testing, barring an anomalous failed test on 30 October 2023 at 73,975 miles where no specific defects were logged. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural advisories across the recent tests indicates the vehicle currently meets all required roadworthiness standards without any outstanding issues. At roughly seven years old with 96,418 miles on the clock, this Karoq averages approximately 13,774 miles annually, a figure notably higher than the national average. The mileage accumulation reveals a distinct pattern of rapid use followed by a recent plateau. Between the March 2023 test at 73,927 miles and the November 2024 test at 84,608 miles, the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles in roughly 20 months. However, mileage has completely stagnated since the November 2024 test, recording the exact same 96,418 miles in the November 2025 retest. This sudden halt in usage suggests the vehicle may have been standing idle for the past eight months, which introduces its own set of concerns regarding seized components and fluid degradation. Despite the clean MOT record, the high annual mileage and recent period of inactivity warrant a thorough physical inspection. A car standing for eight months can suffer from binding brakes, perished rubber suspension bushes, and degraded fluids. Buyers should closely examine the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the tyres for flat-spotting or uneven wear. The suspension components, particularly the coil springs and anti-roll bar links, should be inspected for premature wear consistent with high-mileage use. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, verifying the condition of the exhaust system and drivetrain will confirm whether the previous owner maintained the vehicle adequately during its intensive use.
