2020 Skoda Karoq Sportline TDI SCR 2.0L Diesel · AP70 CFM

The vehicle currently holds a 2026 MOT record, indicating that the most recent inspection was performed in September 2025, placing the test date approximately 11 months prior to the current date. This establishes a very recent maintenance history, suggesting that the owner has likely maintained the car regularly over the past 11 months rather than relying on a long gap since the last inspection. The overall roadworthiness status remains Pass, which is consistent with the performance achieved in the September 2025 test. Regarding the mileage pattern, the vehicle has maintained a consistent 38,956 miles over a 6-year period, averaging roughly 6,500 miles per year. This trajectory is typical for a 2020 model, where the vehicle should have accumulated wear on consumables and structural components over time. The absence of significant gaps in mileage suggests that the owner has not been skipping critical maintenance tasks, although the record does not provide detailed data on the frequency of these checks. The consistent accumulation of miles over a long period indicates that the drivetrain and suspension are likely in good condition, though the specific wear on suspension bushings and brakes may be accumulating. A detailed inspection of the MOT record reveals several recurring mechanical faults that affect the vehicle's structural integrity and safety. The most significant finding is a bulge in the nearside outer tyre caused by a structural failure of the tyre wall, which is a serious defect that could lead to sudden failure or damage to the tyre itself. Additionally, the offside and nearside front brakes show signs of pitting and scoring, with the inner surface of the disc worn and not seriously weakened, but the front lower suspension arms and bushes are beginning to exhibit signs of unbonding. These recurring issues, particularly the structural bulge in the tyre, suggest that the owner has not adequately addressed potential structural issues or maintained the suspension components appropriately.
