2021 Skoda Karoq 1.5L Petrol · NG21 ABF

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 19 February 2026 with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history back to March 2024, the vehicle has consistently passed its annual inspections without a single failure or advisory. This indicates a highly stable maintenance trend and suggests that the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets or exceeds the minimum legal safety requirements without the emergence of common wear and tear issues. The recorded mileage of 12,034 miles over approximately five years is significantly lower than the UK national average, equating to roughly 2,407 miles per year. While this implies minimal mechanical wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension components, such low usage often suggests the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. This usage profile shifts the primary mechanical concern from wear induced degradation to age related deterioration of consumables and seals. Given the clean MOT record and low mileage, the prospective buyer should focus on physical inspections related to vehicle inactivity. It is essential to examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as tyres can degrade and lose structural integrity over time regardless of remaining tread depth. Additionally, the brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, and the pedal feel during a test drive should be monitored for any signs of binding calipers or a spongy response, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently. Attention must also be paid to the health of the 12V battery and the state of the vehicle fluids. Low mileage cars are prone to battery sulfation and premature failure due to infrequent charging cycles. Furthermore, the buyer should verify the service history to ensure that oil and filter changes have been performed according to the manufacturer time based intervals rather than solely on mileage. Brake fluid in particular is hygroscopic and should be replaced every two years regardless of distance covered to prevent internal corrosion of the braking system.
