2020 Skoda Karoq 1.0L Petrol · AF70 KZR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test in September 2025 at 54,170 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a minor failure just three days prior to that pass. The tester flagged a nearside rear tyre with a cut reaching the cords, which was immediately rectified. This rapid turnaround suggests the owner is responsive to safety-critical defects once identified during the testing process. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical UK usage, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per year over the six-year period. The data shows a steady accumulation of 13,000 miles between the August 2023 and 2024 tests, followed by another 10,500 miles before the September 2025 inspection. This regular interval indicates the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of immobility, which generally helps prevent premature degradation of rubber components and hydraulic seals. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and braking system given the August 2024 advis at 43,663 miles. The tester noted light oil misting on both front shock absorbers; while not an immediate failure at that time, this indicates the beginning of seal failure and requires monitoring for increased leaks. Additionally, the record highlighted thin rear brake pads and uneven wear on the nearside rear tyre. A buyer should verify that the current brake pads have sufficient life and check the wheel alignment to prevent the recurrence of the edge wear previously observed.
