2020 Skoda Karoq 2.0L Diesel · DA20 MJU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT in October 2025 at 71,270 miles with no recorded defects. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of significant wear-related issues during mid-2025. While the vehicle returned to a clean status, the failure in August 2025 indicates that several critical components had reached the end of their functional life simultaneously, requiring immediate attention before the subsequent passing test. At 71,270 miles over six years, the Karoq averages approximately 11,900 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage for a modern family SUV. There is a notable spike in activity between the July 2024 test (61,774 miles) and the August 2025 test (69,425 miles), representing nearly 8,000 miles driven in just thirteen months. This rapid accumulation likely accelerated the degradation of the braking system and suspension components that led to the 2025 failure and the subsequent remedial work. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The record reveals recurring issues with oil misting on the front shock absorbers and worn suspension arm bushes dating back to 2023 and 2025. While these were noted as addressed, the persistent mention of misting suggests potential future leaks or developing play in the bushings. Furthermore, the 2025 failure for weakened front brake discs and thin pads indicates these parts were recently replaced, so the buyer must verify the remaining life of the current components and ensure the quality of the work performed following the failure.
