2020 Skoda Karoq 1.5L Petrol · AP70 FFD

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a maintenance trend that appears currently stable. The most recent inspection conducted on 19 June 2026 at 59,349 miles returned no defects, indicating that the previous mechanical concerns identified in earlier tests were addressed or have not progressed. This suggests the current owner is proactive in maintaining the vehicle to meet DVSA standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,892 miles per year. Between the June 2023 test at 32,024 miles and the June 2025 test at 49,503 miles, the car covered 17,479 miles, showing a steady usage profile. There are no significant gaps in the testing schedule or unexplained spikes in mileage that would suggest irregular use or long periods of neglect between annual intervals. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension and braking-related components. The June 2025 test at 49,503 miles flagged light misting on both the nearside and offside front shock absorbers. While the 2026 pass showed no defects, a buyer should verify that these seals have not developed a significant leak, as misting often precedes failure. Additionally, the fluctuating nearside front service brake noted in 2023 at 32,024 miles warrants a check for disc thickness or pedal judder during a test drive to ensure the rotors were properly resurfaced or replaced.
