2020 Skoda Karoq 1.5L Petrol · EX20 AAE

The Skoda Karoq presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT on 18 March 2026 at 39,470 miles recording a pass with no defects or advisories. Prior tests show a consistent clean history aside from an anomalous failure on 18 March 2025 at 27,442 miles that also listed no defects. The vehicle's test record indicates no escalating mechanical concerns across its six-year lifespan. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a 2020-registered vehicle, though the early years show lighter running. The 7 March 2023 test at 7,904 miles and the 15 March 2024 test at 15,189 miles reflect roughly 7,000 miles per annum. From March 2024 to March 2025 the odometer advanced 12,253 miles, and a similar 12,028 miles accrued by March 2026. Annual testing remained unbroken. The duplicated test entry on 18 March 2025 shows both a pass and a fail at identical mileage with no faults logged, suggesting an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical defect. With no advisories or defects across the recorded history, the buyer should still perform a physical inspection of consumable and structural items that MOT tests may not flag when within limits. The Karoq's relatively low yearly mileage implies periods of standing that can promote corrosion on brake discs and suspension components. Examine the front coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake calipers for binding or seizing. Verify tyre sidewall condition and check exhaust emissions against expected norms for a low-load driven engine. Previous owners appear to have maintained statutory testing punctually and avoided deferred maintenance, given the absence of failure-related defects. A pre-purchase inspection should nonetheless confirm structural integrity beneath sills and subframes, as superficial MOT passes do not preclude early rust on a vehicle of this age.
