2020 Skoda Karoq 1.5L Petrol · YY69 XWC

This Škoda Karoq has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness record over the past three MOT cycles, with the most recent test on 15 September 2025 at 36,182 miles yielding no defects—a clean pass. The only minor issue in the preceding history was a slightly damaged offside rear tyre in the September 2024 test at 30,094 miles , a non-fail item that suggests either a minor impact or neglect in tyre inspection rather than a systemic problem. The absence of advisories or repeated failures on critical systems like suspension, brakes, or emissions indicates the vehicle has been maintained at a baseline level, though the tyre issue hints at inconsistent attention to consumables. Mileage progression reveals a consistent but moderate usage pattern, averaging 6,030 miles annually over the past six years. The largest gap between tests occurred between January 2023 (14,019 miles) and January 2024 (25,398 miles) , a 11,379-mile interval , which could imply either extended off-road storage or reduced mileage during that period. The subsequent 4,700 miles in nine months (September 2024) and another 6,088 miles in ten months (September 2025) suggest recent driving has been steady, though not aggressive. The low annual mileage also means some components—such as suspension bushes, brake pads, and cabin filters—may approach their expected service intervals sooner than high-mileage equivalents. A buyer should prioritise a visual inspection of the rear wheel arches for corrosion or stone damage, given the 2024 tyre advisory , which may indicate hidden stone chips or perishing tread beneath the surface. The suspension geometry —particularly rear bushes and coil springs—should be checked for excessive play or uneven wear, as these are common wear items at this mileage. Brake discs and calipers should be examined for lateral runout or binding, especially if the vehicle exhibits uneven braking or a spongy pedal. Given the three-year gap between MOTs in 2023 , it would also be prudent to verify the service history for oil changes, timing belt (if applicable), and fluid top-ups, as these are not covered by the MOT but critical to long-term reliability.
