2018 Skoda Karoq 1.0L Petrol · DA18 KVV

The Skoda Karoq presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 7 May 2025 at 46,981 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 26 April 2024 at 40,857 miles also showed a clean sheet. The vehicle has cleared every examination since April 2023 with no advisories or mechanical faults raised. Mileage sits low for an eight-year-old car. The records show 32,400 miles on 18 April 2023, rising to 40,856 miles by 25 April 2024 and 46,981 miles by May 2025. That averages roughly 5,800 miles per year. The sparse history means we only see four annual tests plus two same-day retests, so the data is thin but consistently clean. Low use of this kind often means long idle periods, which can hide perished rubber components not caught in a static test. The two failures on 18 April 2023 and 25 April 2024 are notable yet unexplained. Both show zero defects recorded, suggesting administrative or presentation issues rather than worn brake discs, failed suspension bushes, or exhaust corrosion. The owner cleared each the next day with a pass, implying minor fix or paperwork correction rather than structural repair. A buyer should still inspect the car in person for standing-related degradation. Check coil springs and suspension arms for rust, verify brake calipers are not binding after storage, and confirm tyre sidewalls have not cracked from age. The clean MOT record gives no cause for alarm, but low mileage alone does not prove mechanical freshness.
