2019 Skoda Karoq 2.0L Diesel · YB19 LVR

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in November 2025 at 49,010 miles passed, yet introduced multiple advisories regarding consumables that were absent in the previous year. This transition from a clean sheet in 2024 to several defects suggests the owner is only addressing maintenance issues once they reach a failure threshold during an MOT inspection. The recorded mileage of 49,010 miles over seven years reflects an average of approximately 7,000 miles per annum, which aligns with typical low-mileage usage. There is a notable gap between March 2022 and November 2022, where the car covered 5,000 miles in eight months, followed by a consistent accumulation of roughly 5,000 to 7,000 miles per year thereafter. This stable mileage pattern indicates that the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension rubber components should be below average compared to a high-frequency motorway vehicle. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and tyres closely, as the record shows uneven wear on the edges in both 2023 and 2025. This recurring pattern often indicates an misalignment issue or worn suspension bushes that have not been properly rectified. The 2025 advisory for thin rear brake pads confirms that the braking system is nearing the end of its service interval, requiring a physical check of the discs for scoring or glazing to ensure the thin pads have not damaged the rotors.
