Skoda Karoq (2022)
2022 Skoda Karoq
CarHunch analysed 4,645 real MOT records for the 2022 Skoda Karoq. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2022 Skoda Karoq is a genuinely reliable car: 95.9% pass their MOT first time, significantly ahead of the UK average of 80%, and dangerous defects are rare at just 2.5% of vehicles. Petrol and diesel variants perform identically, so fuel choice won't affect reliability prospects here.
At 22,000 miles median, these cars are still relatively young and low-mileage, which explains why they average only 0.09 failures per test. The light advisory count of 0.9 per vehicle suggests minor wear items are emerging predictably—nothing alarming for a 2-3 year old car. If you're considering one, a pre-purchase inspection is still worth doing, but the MOT data indicates you're looking at a sound vehicle that's unlikely to spring expensive surprises.
What to check before buying a 2022 Skoda Karoq
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.
