2020 Skoda Karoq 1.0L Petrol · GJ70 LUB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to emerging mechanical wear. While the artworkq passed its first three tests without defects, the most recent inspection in November 2025 at 33,145 miles identified multiple advisories across suspension, braking components, and tyres. This indicates that while the vehicle remains safe, several components are reaching the end of their operational life due to age and exposure. The mileage profile is low for a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per year. Data shows a consistent pattern of use, moving from 7,492 miles in 2022 to 16,128 miles in 2023. However, there was a notable increase of nearly 8,000 miles between October 2023 and October 2024, which coincided with a test failure due to a structural tyre bulge. The overall low mileage often contributes to the degradation of rubber-based components despite the low distance travelled. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension arms, as the November 2025 test flagged worn bushes on both the nearside and offside fronts. Although these did not result in excessive movement at the time, they are likely to require replacement soon. Additionally, the rear brake discs are noted to be pitted and scored, which is common on low-use vehicles that sit for long periods or operate primarily in urban environments. Specific attention must be paid to the tyres, as the latest record identifies signs of cracking and perishing on three separate tyres. Given the previous failure for a structural bulge in late 2024, the age and condition of the rubber should be verified to ensure they are not dry-rott. The history suggests a vehicle that is suffering from age-related degradation rather than high-mileage wear.
