2020 Skoda Karoq 1.5L Petrol · GJ70 KHO

The 2020 Skoda Karoq remains roadworthy as of its most recent MOT on 2025-09-03, with the only advisory being light oil misting on the offside front shock absorber. The maintenance trend shows stability in recent years, with no major faults or failures reported in the last two MOTs. However, the recurring mention of shock absorber oil leakage since 2023 suggests a developing issue that may require attention before the next test. The vehicle has accumulated 63,894 miles over six years, averaging approximately 10,649 miles annually—a typical rate for its age. Mileage increased from 37,477 to 54,088 between 2023 and 2024, then to 63,894 in 2025, indicating consistent use without significant gaps. The absence of MOTs prior to 2023 limits insight into earlier maintenance patterns, but the record from that point onward shows regular testing and no major structural or safety concerns. The most notable recurring issue is wear on the front suspension components, specifically the shock absorbers and wishbone bushes. While these were initially flagged as minor in 2023, the continued presence of oil leakage suggests potential internal damage or seal failure. Buyers should inspect the condition of the front suspension, including bushings and shock absorbers, for signs of excessive wear or fluid leakage. Additionally, the nearside rear tyre had a superficial cut in 2023, which was deemed acceptable at the time, but should be monitored for further damage. No structural corrosion or brake-related issues have been reported, indicating the chassis and braking systems remain in good condition.
