2021 Skoda Karoq SE Drive TSI 1.5L Petrol · EU71 ADV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean result in its most recent inspection. The MOT test conducted on 25 July 2025 at 34,795 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year have either been addressed or have not progressed to a point of fail-test criteria. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-use profile, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the September 2024 test at 25,295 miles and the July 2025 test, the vehicle covered 9,500 miles in under ten months. This suggests regular use rather than long periods of standing, which generally prevents premature degradation of seals and suspension components compared to high-mileage fleet vehicles. A buyer should perform a close visual inspection of the front shock absorbers during a physical viewing. The September 2024 test flagged light oil misting on both the nearside and offside units. While the 2025 test showed no defects, misting is often a precursor to a seal failure that leads to a significant leak. Given the vehicle's low mileage, any visible weeping at this stage would suggest premature component wear that may require replacement to ensure continued handling integrity.
