2022 Skoda Karoq 1.5L Petrol · KY72 XGJ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status following its most recent MOT test on October 22, 2025. While the car passed the inspection, the record indicates the beginning of component wear rather than a stable maintenance trend. The presence of multiple advisories regarding the front suspension and tyres suggests that while the vehicle is currently legal, specific mechanical areas require proactive attention to prevent future failures. At 18,786 miles, this four-year-old Karoq shows exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per year. This low usage often suggests short-distance urban driving or periods of stationary time, which can lead to premature degradation of rubber components and seals despite the low mechanical mileage. The data history is sparse due to the vehicle's young age, but the recorded mileage provides a clear baseline for the condition of the front-end assembly. A physical inspection must focus on the front shock absorbers. The tester flagged light misting of oil on both the nearside and offside units, indicating that the internal seals are failing and will eventually lead to a significant leak and diminished damping. The advisory also noted that front tyres are reaching the legal limit with uneven edge wear, which frequently points to an alignment issue or worn suspension bushings. A buyer should verify the wheel geometry and check for further play in the front suspension to ensure the low mileage has not masked underlying wear.
