2018 Skoda Karoq 1.5L Petrol · GF18 YRG

The Skoda Karoq presents a stable roadworthiness profile with no recorded defects across its five most recent MOT tests. The March 2026 examination at 72,464 miles returned a pass with no advisories, confirming the maintenance trend has remained consistent since the April 2022 test. Annual inspections from 2022 through 2026 show the vehicle clearing each assessment without mechanical or structural flags. Mileage accumulation aligns with light use for an eight-year-old vehicle. The April 2022 test at 50,195 miles progressed to 57,251 miles by April 2023, then 62,089 miles in April 2024, 67,482 miles in April 2025, and 72,464 miles by March 2026. This equates to roughly 5,000 to 5,500 miles added each year, below the 9,058 miles per annum average implied by the odometer. The clean record across these intervals suggests the previous owner adhered to scheduled servicing and avoided deferred consumable replacement. With no recurring faults logged, the buyer's physical checks should target the same components the MOT routinely examines. The tester noted no corrosion on structural members, yet coil springs and suspension bushes warrant physical examination for age-related fatigue not always visible during a brief test. Brake discs and calipers should be measured for wear, as the Karoq's modest annual mileage may have allowed surface pitting if the car stood idle for periods. Exhaust emissions cleared each test, but a pre-purchase evaluation of emission control hardware remains sensible on the relevant engine variant. The vehicle's history implies conscientious upkeep, though visual confirmation of tyre sidewalls and underbody integrity will finalise the assessment.
