Every Skoda Karoq model year

Pass rates fall as cars age, so the only fair comparison for a 2022 car is other cars of the same age. The full run for the Skoda Karoq:

What a 4-year-old car fails on

A 2022 car is 4 years old now, and age drives the failure mix more than the badge does. Across all cars tested, these are the categories that actually cause failures:

  • Lights and electrical: 10.36% of all cars tested
  • Suspension: 8.65% of all cars tested
  • Tyres: 6.23% of all cars tested
  • Brakes: 6.1% of all cars tested
  • Visibility: wipers, washers, glass: 4.65% of all cars tested
  • Body, chassis and structure: 3.18% of all cars tested

That is low mileage, which usually means light urban use. Short journeys are harder on batteries, brakes and exhausts than motorway miles, so do not assume low miles means low wear. On a 2022 Skoda Karoq the average at test was 21,689 miles, so treat anything far above that as a car that has worked harder than its peers, and anything far below as one worth checking for the faults that come from standing still.

2022 is the strongest year on record for this model at 92.5%, ahead of every other year we hold data for.
