2022 Skoda Karoq SE Drive TSI 1.0L Petrol · GF72 HCO

A generally stable roadworthiness record is evident, although the vehicle has a history of tyre-related defects. The latest pass on 23 September 2026 follows a trend of manageable issues, including a failure in September 2025 caused by a major cut in the nearside front tyre reaching the ply or cords, alongside a recurring advisory for the offside front tyre being worn close to the legal limit. The recorded mileage of 35,317 miles over approximately four years represents an average annual accumulation of roughly 8,829 miles. This usage pattern is typical for the vehicle's age, indicating it has been used regularly without prolonged periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this level of use typically coincides with the expected wear-and-tear cycle for consumables, specifically tyres and braking components. Immediate attention is required for the rear brake pads, which were flagged as wearing thin in the September 2026 test. On a test drive, the buyer should feel for any pedal judder or listen for grinding noises during deceleration, which would indicate the pads have worn down to the backing plate and are scoring the brake discs. Given the previous failure for a tyre cut and the advisory for edge wear on the offside front tyre, a thorough inspection of all four tyre sidewalls and tread depths is necessary. The buyer should check for any steering pull or instability at speed, as edge wear often points to incorrect wheel alignment or worn suspension bushes. Any knocking sounds when traversing speed bumps or uneven road surfaces should be noted as potential indicators of suspension wear.
