2018 Skoda Karoq 1.5L Petrol · BD05 OCT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in March 2026 at 60,357 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a clear shift from a clean record to reactive maintenance. While the car held a perfect history between 2022 and 2023, the last three annual tests have flagged recurring issues with consumable components, suggesting that the current ownership pattern involves only addressing wear once parts approach legal limits or failure thresholds. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of roughly 10,000 miles between March 2023 and March 2024, and another 9,562 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. This regular usage suggests the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which is generally positive for seals and mechanical components, though the frequency of tyre advisories indicates the vehicle is being used regularly without proactive replacement replacement. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and braking system. The record shows a persistent issue of uneven tyre wear, with multiple tyres flagged for being bald or worn on the edges between 2024 and 2025. This often indicates an alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that require attention. Furthermore, the tester flagged thin rear brake pads in 2024, so the remaining life of these components should be verified to ensure they are not nearing the end of their interval again. The 2026 advisory regarding cracking or perishing on the offside rear tyre suggests the rubber is beginning to age despite having sufficient tread, necessitating a full check of the tyre set.
