2019 Skoda Karoq 2.0L Diesel · KY69 KDF

The vehicle is roadworthy as of the 29 May 2026 MOT, but the tester flagged thin front and rear brake pads, a front disc that is worn and pitted, and light oil mist on the off‑side front shock absorber. These advisories indicate wear that should be addressed promptly; the overall status remains passable, yet the trend shows increasing component fatigue compared with earlier clean passes. Mileage has risen from 26,191 mi in September 2022 to 55,381 mi in May 2026, averaging roughly 7,900 mi per year – a figure typical for a seven‑year‑old estate. The jump from 35,133 mi in April 2024 to 42,739 mi in July 2025 adds 7,600 mi in fifteen months, then a further 12,600 mi in the following eleven months, suggesting a noticeable uptick in usage during the last year. No significant gaps appear in the record; the data are consistently logged. A prospective buyer should examine the braking system closely. Verify pad thickness on all wheels and inspect the front disc for scoring that may compromise braking efficiency. The oil mist on the front shock absorber warrants a visual check for leaks and a test of rebound to confirm suspension integrity. Although tyres were not recorded in the latest test, earlier advisories about rear and front tyre wear close to the legal limit mean current tread depth must be measured and sidewall condition inspected. Finally, a visual survey of suspension bushes, coil springs, and chassis for corrosion will confirm whether the increased mileage has begun to affect structural components.
