2022 Skoda Karoq SE Drive TSI 1.5L Petrol · SK72 FVO

The Skoda Karoq SE Drive TSI recorded here shows a stable roadworthiness trend, having passed its most recent MOT on 7 November 2025 at just 19,284 miles with no defects or advisories noted. This clean history suggests the vehicle has avoided major mechanical failures or recurring issues during its short service life. The absence of any advisory notes in the single available test implies the tester did not identify any components requiring attention before the next MOT cycle, though this does not preclude hidden wear or deferred maintenance. The vehicle’s low mileage relative to its age—just under 5,000 miles annually—could indicate light usage or periods of inactivity, which may have mitigated some wear patterns. The recorded mileage progression is sparse but consistent with low annual usage. With only one MOT entry available, there is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or abrupt changes in service intervals. The vehicle’s age of approximately four years aligns with the 19,284 miles logged, though this low mileage could also imply extended periods off the road, which may have allowed for deferred maintenance of components like suspension bushes or brake fluid condition. The lack of multiple test dates prevents a full trend analysis, but the single pass suggests no urgent mechanical concerns were detected at the time of testing. Given the limited MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely checked in a basic MOT. Focus on the suspension system—particularly coil springs, bushes, and dampers—for signs of uneven wear or corrosion, as these are not always visible without a thorough lift inspection. The braking system warrants close examination, including rear caliper binding (common in low-mileage vehicles with infrequent use) and disc thickness, as brake wear is not always evident in a static MOT. Additionally, check for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and underbody, as prolonged standing can accelerate rust development in critical structural areas. The engine bay should be inspected for fluid leaks, particularly around the power steering and cooling systems, which may have degraded if the vehicle was left unused for extended periods.
