2018 Skoda Karoq 1.5L Petrol · RE68 HHD

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status with a stabilizing maintenance trend following a significant mechanical failure. The most recent test in October 2025 at 53,277 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the issues identified in the previous year were successfully rectified. This suggests the current owner is willing to address safety-critical faults once they are flagged by the DVSA. The' pattern is consistent with an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,660 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in records between November 2022 at 23,754 miles and October 2023 at 33,135 miles, representing a period of lower usage. However, the car has covered roughly 20,000 miles in the last two years. This low overall mileage generally reduces the expected wear on the drivetrain and rubber components compared to a high-mileage example. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system during a physical inspection. The November 2024 failure at 44,968 miles specifically highlighted thin rear brake pads and fluctuating service brakes, which often indicates warped or thin discs. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test, the buyer should verify that the rear calipers are not binding and that the discs show no significant scoring. Additionally, the 2023 adviser regarding front tyres worn on the edge suggests a previous history of alignment issues, which should be checked against the current set of tyres to ensure no uneven wear is occurring.
