2020 Skoda Karoq 1.5L Petrol · MJ70 ADU

The Skoda Karoq presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 22 August 2025 at 46,163 miles which recorded no defects. Prior to this, the vehicle passed cleanly on 6 August 2024 at 37,533 miles and on 24 August 2023 at 28,691 miles. The only blemish is a failed test logged on 5 August 2024 at 37,533 miles with no defects recorded, an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately rectified by the pass next day. Annual mileage averages 7,694 across the recorded life, a typical figure for a six-year-old vehicle. The records show steady annual accumulation: 28,691 miles in August 2023, rising to 37,533 by August 2024 and 46,163 by August 2025. No rapid spikes or standing gaps appear. The clean advisories across all tests indicate the previous owner kept consumables and core systems within tolerance, though the sparse three-year history limits deeper trend analysis on wear items such as suspension bushes or brake disc thickness. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the limited test span. The tester logged no advisories on coil springs, exhaust emissions, or binding calipers, yet a 2020 vehicle can conceal early subframe rust unseen in a pass result. Verify the 5 August 2024 failure paperwork to confirm it was non-mechanical. Check tyre tread depth and wiper condition at point of sale despite the clean record, as these consumables fall outside MOT fail thresholds until worn. The Karoq's low defect history suggests competent upkeep, but physical confirmation of steering joints and brake pad wear remains prudent before purchase.
