2020 Skoda Karoq Sportlne TDI SCR 4X4 SA 2.0L Diesel · YR70 XPC

The vehicle remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend that shows proactive attention to emerging mechanical wear. The most recent test on 27 October 2025 at 56,026 miles resulted in a pass despite a recurring advisory for a leaking nearside front shock absorber. This specific issue persisted from the 29 October 2024 test at 42,695 miles, indicating a slow leak that has not yet progressed to a functional failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a six-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,300 miles per year. Between the October 2023 test at 30,451 miles and the October 2024 test at 42,695 miles, the car covered 12,244 miles, representing typical annual usage. This steady accumulation suggests that the drivetrain and suspension components are likely operating within expected wear limits for a Skoda of this age. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the nearside front shock absorber to determine if the misting has turned into a significant leak which would require immediate replacement. The previous advisory regarding the rear prop shaft flexible coupling in 2023 should also be verified for further cracking or deterioration, as this component was not mentioned in subsequent tests. Beyond these two specific items, the record shows no evidence of structural corrosion or recurring mechanical failures, suggesting a well-maintained 4x4 system.
