Skoda Karoq Sportline TSI S A (2023)
2023 Skoda Karoq Sportline TSI S A
CarHunch is tracking 2,125 2023 Skoda Karoq Sportline TSI S A vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2023 Skoda Karoq is flunking MOT tests at an alarming rate—only 8.3% pass first time compared to the UK average of 80%—though the genuinely dangerous defect rate is mercifully low at 0.2%. The median mileage of 19,390 miles is perfectly normal for a car of this age, so the failures aren't down to high wear.
What's striking is how few actual failures (0.01 per vehicle) and advisories (0.1) show up in the data, yet the pass rate is catastrophic, suggesting a systematic issue with how these cars are presenting to testers rather than genuine mechanical problems. Before committing to this model, get a pre-purchase inspection from a Skoda specialist who can identify whether there's a pattern of minor emissions or sensor issues that keep tripping MOT compliance.
We have 2,125 2023 Skoda Karoq Sportline TSI S A vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2023 Skoda Karoq Sportline TSI S A
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
