2018 Skoda Karoq 1.0L Petrol · DA18 CWR

The Skoda Karoq presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 June 2025 at 47,410 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the four preceding annual tests from June 2022 through June 2024 also passed clean. No advisories or recurring mechanical faults appear across the history, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or unresolved defects over its eight-year life. The recorded mileage sits low for a 2018 plate at roughly 5,926 miles per year. The tests show steady annual accumulation: 19,979 miles on 22 June 2022, 29,548 on 23 June 2023, 38,468 on 21 June 2024, and 47,410 on 16 June 2025. The only anomaly is a failed test on 21 June 2022 at 19,977 miles, one day before the passing retest at 19,979 miles, with no defects listed on either entry. This suggests an administrative or data-recording anomaly rather than a mechanical rejection. Given the clean record with no flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust issues, the previous owner clearly kept the car to a sound standard with no skipped consumable upkeep. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody for hidden rust, and verify the brake calipers and coil springs are free of binding or fatigue after periods of low use. The low annual mileage means fluids and seals may have aged more from time than from heat cycling. The absence of advisories across five tests means no pattern of minor wear or serious risk is evident. Prospective purchasers should confirm service history matches the low-mileage profile and check tyres and wiper blades for perishing from standing time. The vehicle's MOT evidence supports a sound used purchase subject to standard pre-sale checks.
