2020 Skoda Karoq 1.5L Petrol · VO20 EOE

This 2020 Skoda Karoq presents a clean and stable maintenance trend, culminating in a fully defect-free pass at its most recent MOT on 14 May 2026 at 35,982 miles. The record shows a clear improvement from the 2023 test, where advisories were issued, to a completely unblemished result three years later. This trajectory suggests attentive ownership and a proactive approach to rectifying minor wear items before they escalate. The vehicle has covered approximately 17,751 miles over the three-year period between the March 2023 and May 2026 tests, averaging just under 5,900 miles annually. This is low for a six-year-old vehicle, indicating light, regular use rather than prolonged standing. The steady, incremental mileage accumulation between each test, from 18,231 miles in March 2023 to 29,217 miles in March 2025, confirms consistent weekly driving. Such usage patterns typically favour mechanical longevity, reducing the risk of corrosion-related issues associated with short trips or long-term dormancy. The sole advisory history centres on the rear braking system and a rear tyre. In the March 2023 test at 18,231 miles, the tester flagged rear brake pads wearing thin and a perished or slightly damaged nearside rear tyre. The subsequent clean passes indicate these consumable items were replaced. A prospective buyer should still physically inspect the rear brake discs for scoring or lipping and measure the remaining pad depth, as low-mileage driving can sometimes lead to uneven pad deposits or disc corrosion from infrequent use. The nearside rear tyre condition should also be checked for renewed perishing, particularly if the vehicle spends extended periods stationary. Beyond the recorded advisories, the low mileage and recent clean pass suggest no immediate structural or mechanical red flags. A test drive should focus on listening for suspension knocks or exhaust blows that might not yet warrant an MOT failure but could indicate dry or perished bushes. The underbody should be inspected for surface corrosion, especially around suspension mounting points and the exhaust system, as even lightly used vehicles can suffer if kept in damp conditions. Overall, the data paints a picture of a well-maintained, lightly stressed vehicle with a transparent and improving service record.
