About the 2024 SKODA KAROQ
The 2024 SKODA KAROQ is a small family car with a 1498cc petrol engine. 52 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2026, making it a rare model on UK roads. Among all cars from 2024, the average MOT pass rate is 98%, and this model falls short of that benchmark.
With an average of 936 miles at 2 years old, SKODA KAROQ owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.
2024 SKODA KAROQ Fuel Costs
The 1498cc petrol engine offers a reasonable balance between performance and economy. Expect around 42 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £1,137 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).
What does it cost to own a 2024 SKODA KAROQ?
