AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The Skoda Karoq presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 2 July 2025 at 46,316 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The tester issued no defects at that test. One day earlier, on 1 July 2025 at 46,315 miles, the vehicle failed without any defects recorded, a pattern consistent with an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. The prior pass dated 16 July 2024 at 36,648 miles also carried no advisories, so no worsening condition is evident in the data. The odometer shows 46,316 miles against a 2021 build, equating to roughly 9,263 miles per year and sitting within typical use for the age. Between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests the car covered 9,668 miles, a steady annual rate with no abrupt accumulation or prolonged standing implied. The supplied history is sparse and clean, offering only three entries and no recorded wear on consumables, suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion across the period. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of the suspension components, brake calipers, and underbody for corrosion given the limited test sample. The back-to-back July 2025 fail and pass with zero defects suggests the previous owner addressed any test-station concern promptly, but the record alone confirms nothing about tyre tread depth, exhaust emissions beyond the pass, or drivetrain condition. Physical verification of coil springs and steering joints remains prudent before purchase.

Our Verdict

This is a generally sound buy for a 2021 Skoda Karoq with low-ish mileage, but the back-to-back MOT test in July 2025 warrants a simple explanation from the seller. Provided the failed test was an administrative or no-defect retest, the clean passing history supports a confident purchase.

Ask the seller for the MOT certificate or DVLA record explaining the 1 July 2025 failure with no defects recorded, as this is unusual and may simply be a paperwork or system retest the following day. Confirm the service history is complete for a 2021 petrol Karoq, as Skoda recommends annual or mileage-based servicing that protects the 1.5 TSI engine's timing belt and turbo components. Use the clean MOT record with no advisories as a negotiating point only if the price sits above typical market value for a 2021 Karoq with this mileage.

The 1498cc petrol engine in this Karoq typically returns mid-40s mpg in real-world mixed driving, keeping weekly fuel costs reasonable for a compact SUV. Road tax for a 2021 petrol vehicle of this size is likely in the standard band, and insurance should sit in a moderate group for the model. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and routine maintenance are around £1,000-£1,300, though no model-specific aggregate data was supplied to refine this.

Check the MOT failure entry dated 1 July 2025 showing 46,315 miles with no defects recorded, and verify with the seller whether this was a no-defect retest logged incorrectly before the pass on 2 July 2025. Inspect the bodywork and blue paint for parking scars given the 46,316-mile usage, and confirm tyre tread and brake condition despite no advisories being noted at the last test. As no defects were recorded across any MOT, a general visual check of suspension and underbody for a four-year-old vehicle is sensible but not flagged by the data as a concern.

The Skoda Karoq GP71CDY is a 1.5-litre petrol model first registered in September 2021 and finished in blue, with 46,316 miles recorded at its most recent MOT in July 2025. Its MOT history shows two passes with no defects and one failure on 1 July 2025 that also recorded no defects, suggesting a retest rather than a mechanical issue. With just under 47,000 miles over nearly four years, the mileage is around average for its age. No aggregate reliability data is available for the Karoq, so assessment rests on the individual vehicle record.

No aggregate MOT data is available for the Skoda Karoq, so reliability reputation cannot be assessed from the provided dataset and must be judged on this vehicle's individual history.
