2018 Skoda Karoq 2.0L Diesel · GV18 ACO

The vehicle cleared its most recent MOT on 29 May 2026 at 50,748 miles with no recorded defects, indicating a road‑worthy condition at the time of testing. Earlier advisories have been addressed, and the pattern of findings suggests a stable, slightly improving maintenance trajectory. Mileage has risen from 18,102 miles on 7 June 2021 to 50,748 miles on 29 May 2026, averaging roughly 6,300 miles per year. The annual increments between each test – 5,733 miles (2021‑2022), 5,892 miles (2022‑2023), 5,968 miles (2023‑2024), 4,868 miles (2024‑2025), and 10,130 miles (2025‑2026) – show a consistent usage pattern with a modest surge in the final year, but no evidence of excessive short‑term mileage spikes or prolonged idle periods. A prospective buyer should verify that the front brake discs and pads, flagged for wear in the 6 June 2025 test, have been replaced or are within safe limits, and confirm the absence of oil mist on the front shock absorbers noted at that same test. Visual inspection of all four tyres for edge wear, especially the front tyres highlighted on 18 June 2024, remains prudent. The near‑side rear seat‑belt webbing recorded as slightly frayed on 7 June 2021 should be examined for any progression. Finally, a tactile check for corrosion or structural fatigue on suspension bushes and chassis components will ensure that no latent issues have developed since the last MOT.
