2019 Skoda Karoq 1.5L Petrol · AX19 VHR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, as evidenced by a clean MOT pass on 13 May 2026 at 41,372 miles where no defects were recorded. The maintenance trend is currently improving following a period of mechanical degradation. While the 2024 and 2025 tests highlighted recurring suspension and tyre issues, the most recent inspection indicates the owner addressed these faults to bring the car back to passing standard. At seven years old, the 41,372 recorded miles represent a low-use profile, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between May 2023 (22,665 miles) and May 2024 (31,989 miles), where the vehicle covered nearly 9,300 miles in a single year. The low annual mileage explains the presence of rubber-based component failures, as tyres and suspension bushes often age and perish due to time rather than through high tread wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly. The record shows the lower front suspension arm bushes and rear bushes were flagged as worn or unbonded in both 2024 and 2025. Although the 2026 test was clean, a physical check must verify that these bushes were actually replaced rather than merely monitored. Additionally, the consistent history of tyre tyre cracking and perishing across all four wheels from 2022 to 2025 suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods, necessitating a close look at the sidewalls for dry rot regardless of remaining tread depth.
