2019 Skoda Karoq Sportline TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · BP69 NFJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear pattern of deferred attention regarding consumable components. While the most recent test on 12 June 2026 at 56,543 miles passed, it flagged a high volume of advisories including thin rear brake pads, four tyres worn to the legal limit, and worn front suspension arm bushes. This cumulative list suggests that the previous owner only addresses faults when they approach MOT failure thresholds rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 21,821 miles in November 2022 to 56,543 miles in June 2026. There is no evidence of long periods of standing or unusual high-mile spikes, though the 34,722 miles covered between the November 2022 and June 2026 tests explains the progression of wear noted on the vehicle's braking system and suspension geometry. A buyer must inspect the front suspension assembly closely, as the tester identified worn arm pins and bushes in 2026. Following the 2023 report of oil misting on the front shock absorbers, these should be checked for active leaks which would indicate the seals are failing. The braking history shows a recurring issue with pitted and scored discs across both 2022 and 2023, suggesting the braking components may be prone to corrosion or are being replaced with low-quality parts. The immediate replacement of all four tyres and the rear brake pads is required to bring the car to an appropriate standard. Given the uneven edge wear noted in the June 2026 test, a professional wheel alignment check is essential to ensure the worn bushes are not prematurely scrubbing new rubber. The history indicates a vehicle that is functionally sound but requires a thorough mechanical overhaul to ensure long-term reliability and safety.
