2021 Skoda Karoq 1.5L Petrol · SD71 YWR

This Škoda Karoq has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects or advisories recorded in either of the two most recent tests, most recently passing on 10 November 2025 at 43,013 miles. The absence of any recurring issues or warnings suggests the vehicle has been kept in stable mechanical condition over the past two years, though the sparse data means no long-term trends can be confirmed. The most recent test was conducted just six months ago, which is well within the standard 12-month MOT interval, indicating the vehicle remains legally compliant and has not yet required an early retest. The recorded mileage of 43,013 miles over approximately five years—roughly 8,600 miles per annum—falls within the typical range for a vehicle of this age, though it implies consistent use rather than storage. The gap between tests shows a steady accumulation of mileage, with 27,956 miles logged at the December 2024 test and 15,057 miles added in the intervening period. There are no red flags in the mileage pattern, but the lack of intermediate MOTs means no insight into potential wear between tests. Buyers should note that while the MOT record is clean, the vehicle’s age and mileage suggest standard wear items like brake pads, suspension bushes, and tyres will require attention. Given the absence of advisories or defects, the most critical areas for an in-person inspection should focus on high-wear components that are not routinely tested by the MOT. The suspension—particularly coil springs, bushes, and shock absorbers—should be examined for uneven sagging, excessive play, or corrosion, as these are not always captured in a standard MOT. Brake systems, including rear calipers and discs, warrant scrutiny, especially if the vehicle has been driven hard or in mixed conditions, as binding or uneven wear could develop without MOT detection. Additionally, the underbody should be checked for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the exhaust system, as these areas are prone to deterioration over time. A thorough tyre inspection for uneven tread wear or embedded debris is also essential, as the MOT only verifies minimum tread depth.
