2021 Skoda Karoq 1.5L Petrol · AO71 XCP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean MOT pass on 10 November 2025 at 15,692 miles. The maintenance trend shows marked improvement, as the multiple defects identified in the previous year have been addressed, resulting in a report with no recorded defects or advisories during the most recent inspection. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,138 miles per annum. Between the 2024 test at 11,425 miles and the 2025 test, the car covered 4,267 miles. This indicates the vehicle is likely used for short trips or kept for extended periods. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it can lead to the degradation of rubber components due to age rather than use. The inspection on 31 October 2024 at 11,425 miles revealed significant issues with the tyres across all axles. The tester flagged the nearside front tyre as worn to the legal limit, while all four tyres showed signs of cracking and perishing on the tread lines. These faults are typical of low-mileage vehicles that sit stationary, as the rubber compound dries out and artwork over time. A buyer should verify that all four tyres have been replaced since that date to ensure they are not still suffering from structural cracking. Given the low usage pattern, a physical inspection should focus on the braking system for surface corrosion or seized calipers, which often occur when cars are not frequently driven. The' bushes and rubber seals should also be checked for cracking, as the age of the vehicle impacts these materials independently of the low mileage reading.
