2021 Skoda Karoq 1.5L Petrol · DT70 BUP

This Skoda Karoq has maintained a clean MOT record since December 2025, with no defects recorded in either of the most recent tests. The vehicle passed at 41,599 miles on 13 December 2025 and again at 38,549 miles on 6 January 2025, suggesting a stable roadworthiness trend over the past year. The only notable mention in the history occurred in January 2024 at 32,150 miles, where the tester flagged thin front and rear brake pads—a common wear item that should have been addressed promptly. Since then, no further brake-related advisories or failures have been recorded, indicating either timely replacement or a minor oversight that did not escalate. The mileage progression shows consistent usage, averaging around 8,300 miles annually, which aligns with typical low-to-moderate driving patterns for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps between tests, and the intervals between MOTs (approximately 12–13 months) reflect standard practice. The lack of extended periods of inactivity or rapid mileage spikes also suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to harsh or irregular driving conditions that could accelerate wear on suspension, drivetrain, or structural components. A buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the brake system, particularly the pads and discs, given the 2024 advisory. While the vehicle has since passed without brake-related faults, wear patterns can vary—check for uneven pad thickness, glazed or contaminated discs, and the condition of brake calipers for binding or fluid leaks. The suspension should also be examined closely for worn bushes, coil spring integrity, and signs of corrosion at wheel arches or subframes, as these are common areas for gradual deterioration in vehicles of this age. Pay special attention to the rear axle alignment, as binding brakes were not explicitly noted but could indicate misalignment or worn components. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system, particularly at the rear, where corrosion can develop over time.
