2019 Skoda Karoq 1.0L Petrol · FV19 FCY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a recent decline in brake system upkeep. While the most recent MOT on 15 July 2025 at 48,808 miles passed, it followed a failure just twelve days prior at 48,805 miles. The failure report revealed significantly worn rear brake discs and front pads below the 1.5mm legal limit. This suggests that the previous owner only performed the minimum necessary repairs to pass the test rather than following proactive preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 11,336 miles between the July 2022 and June 2023 tests, followed by a steady accumulation of roughly 1,300 to 1,700 miles annually thereafter. This low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but the long periods of potential inactivity can lead to corrosion on metal surfaces like brake discs, which aligns with the pitting and scoring noted in the 2025 records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking assembly. The tester flagged both front brake discs as pitted or scored in the July 2025 test, which often indicates moisture-induced corrosion from infrequent use. Given the failure for thin rear pads and worn discs, the buyer should verify that all affected components were replaced rather than just the pads. Additionally, check for caliper leaks or sticking pistons to ensure the recent wear patterns have not caused underlying damage to the hydraulic hardware.
