2020 Skoda Karoq 1.6L Diesel · CK69 WDV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a clear decline in suspension and braking component health. The most recent test in January 2026 at 58,955 miles identified multiple mechanical issues, including thin rear brake pads, pitted and scored rear discs, and a worn bush on the nearside front suspension arm. While the Karoq passed despite these entries, the accumulation of faults across the latest tests suggests that components are only being addressed as they approach failure rather than through preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,800 miles per year. Between January 2023 at 19,961 miles and January 2026 at 58,955 miles, the car covered roughly 39,000 miles, indicating steady and predictable usage. The gap of 12,588 miles between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests aligns with this annual average, which typically results in standard wear and tear on suspension rubber components and braking hardware. A buyer must focus on inspecting the front suspension assembly, as the record shows a persistent progression of shock absorber failure. The history moves from light misting in 2023 and 2024 to a serious fluid leak that caused a failure in early 2025. Although these were likely replaced, the 2026 report of a worn front suspension arm bush indicates that other rubber components are now beginning to degrade. The rear braking system requires immediate attention, as the pitting on the discs combined with thin pads suggests they have reached the end of their effective life and require replacement to ensure consistent stopping performance.
