2018 Skoda Karoq 1.5L Petrol · HT67 CHX

The 2018 ŠKODA KAROQ is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 2026‑02‑11 recorded a pass with no defects at 77,356 miles. After a headlamp‑aim failure in February 2022, the vehicle’s maintenance trend has been improving and has remained stable through the subsequent annual tests. No new mechanical issues have emerged since the 2024 tyre advisories, indicating a generally well‑maintained condition. Mileage accumulation aligns with typical usage for an eight‑year‑old vehicle. The log shows a steady increase from 22,975 miles in January 2021 to 77,356 miles in February 2026, averaging roughly 11,000 miles per year. The interval between MOTs has been consistent, and the data set is clean without anomalous gaps or sudden mileage spikes. Tyre condition warrants close attention. The February 2023 test noted a near‑side front tyre with outer‑sidewall damage, while the February 2024 test flagged both off‑side front and rear tyres worn close to the legal limit. These recurring advisories suggest the tyre wear patterns have progressed, and a buyer should inspect tread depth, sidewall integrity, and uniformity of wear across all four tyres, as well as verify proper inflation and balance. Although no other defects appear in the record, the age of the car merits a hands‑on check of suspension bushes, brake disc condition, and any signs of corrosion or rust, particularly around wheel arches and underbody panels. A visual inspection of headlamp aim and the exhaust system is also advisable to confirm that the earlier failure has been fully resolved.
