2019 Skoda Karoq 2.0L Petrol · KY69 LWE

The overall roadworthiness of the 2019 SKODA KAROQ is currently unstable and deteriorating , primarily driven by the severe mechanical risks associated with the failed MOT test recorded on 2023-11-01. While the vehicle passed a successful test in November 2025, the failure in November 2023 indicates a critical lack of preventative maintenance, suggesting a pattern of neglect. The most recent inspection at 45,688 miles in November 2025 was passed without defects, but this does not account for the significant wear and tear accumulated since the failed test. The vehicle has not been inspected in a year since the 2023-11-01 failure, and the subsequent 2024-10-30 test at 34,888 miles failed to pass, confirming that the accumulated damage has not been resolved. The mileage accumulation is notably rapid, with the vehicle averaging approximately 6,527 miles per year, a rate that is inconsistent with typical usage patterns. This high mileage rate, particularly when combined with the 7-year age of the car, suggests that the owner has likely been skipping essential maintenance protocols. The gap between the 2025-11-12 and 2023-11-01 tests is significant, implying that the owner may have driven the car for extended periods without a formal MOT, which is a major red flag for structural integrity. The vehicle is currently in a state of high risk, with the most recent test showing no defects, but this is likely a false positive given the history of failure at 26,943 miles. Given the recurring failure of the MOT and the lack of a recent inspection, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to identify and repair any recurring faults. The most likely structural risks include corrosion on exhaust components, binding rear brakes, and worn suspension bushings. The 2023-11-01 failure at 26,943 miles indicates that the vehicle's chassis and suspension have likely failed under the load, which would cause the brakes to bind or the suspension to become loose. Without a recent MOT, the vehicle is not roadworthy and poses a severe safety hazard.
