2020 Skoda Karoq 1.0L Petrol · YC20 EZF

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward developing component wear. The most recent test on October 27 2025 at 41,058 miles identified an offside front shock absorber with a light misting of oil. While this did not trigger a failure, it indicates the beginning of a seal failure that was not present during the clean test recorded on October 30, 2024. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-mileage commuter vehicle, averaging approximately 6,800 miles per year. Data shows steady progression between the June 2023 test at 28,622 miles and the May 2024 test at 34,970 miles, representing a gap of roughly 6,300 miles in twelve months. The low mileage relative to the six-year age suggests the vehicle has seen limited stress, which explains why issues relate to rubber-based components rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension system and tyre condition. The May 2024 test flagged cracking and perishing on the nearside front, offside front, and offside rear tyres, which often occurs when vehicles sit stationary or age-out rather than tread depth wear. Furthermore, the misting on the offside front shock absorber should be monitored closely to ensure the leak has not progressed to a significant failure that would compromise handling or cause uneven tyre wear.
