2018 Skoda Karoq 1.5L Petrol · DB08 LOW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing results. The most recent test on 27 March 2026 at 19,464 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, despite a technical failure just five miles prior on the same day. This initial failure with no recorded defects suggests a potential administrative error or a minor sensor glitch that was immediately rectified rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The car has maintained a clean record across the last three testing cycles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,433 miles per year. Between the March 2023 test at 11,889 miles and the April 2025 test at 16,860 miles, the car covered only 4,971 miles. This low usage typically indicates minimal wear on high-stress components like the engine drivetrain and gearbox. However, long periods of stationary use can sometimes lead to specific issues such as dry-rotted rubber components, fluid degradation, or flat spots on the tyres. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. While the MOT record shows no advisories for suspension bushes or structural corrosion, the inspector should check the brake discs for surface pitting or rust which often occurs when vehicles are driven infrequently. Examining the tyre sidewalls for cracking is also vital, as the age of the rubber often outlasts the tread depth in these scenarios. The lack of recorded faults suggests the vehicle has likely been well-maintained, despite its low mileage.
