Buying a used Skoda Karoq for London: what the MOT data shows
The Skoda Karoqs in this data were first registered between 2017 and 2023. 2019 was the most common year, with 14,606 tests (35% of the total), and half were registered in 2019 or later.
Every Karoq in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2023) passed first time 100% of the time at 230 miles on average, and the oldest (2017) passed 89% at 44,562 miles.
Whichever year you choose, check the Karoq's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were tyres: "has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords" (1.7% of tests) and "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm" (1.1%); suspension: "has a serious fluid leak" (0.9%). The most frequent advisory was "tread depth below requirements of 1.6mm", on 11.4% of tests.
Overall, 90% of Karoqs passed first time, well above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 31,308 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
