2020 Skoda Karoq SE Drive TSI 1.0L Petrol · FG70 HGL

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass rate across its recorded history. The most recent test on 27 August 2025 at 74,444 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories. This follows two previous clean passes in August 2024 and November 2023, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is high for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging over 12,000 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between the November 2023 test at 54,059 miles and the August 2024 test at 69,288 miles, where the car covered over 15,000 miles in nine months. This pattern indicates heavy motorway or commuter use, which typically puts more stress on drivetrain components and suspension than urban driving. Despite the clean MOT records, the high mileage necessitates a physical inspection of high-wear consumables. A buyer should check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake discs and pads, as these are not always flagged until they reach the legal limit. Given the total mileage of 74,444, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for signs of fatigue or perishing. The absence of any advisories over the last three years is positive, but it does not replace the need for a service history check. Evidence of regular oil changes and filter replacements is critical for a TSI engine with this level of usage. Focus on verifying that the cambelt or water pump intervals have been respected, as these are primary failure points for high-mileage vehicles of this age.
