Škoda has reinforced its reputation for exceptional long-term quality and value, after securing two major used-car awards in the space of just one week. The back-to-back accolades highlight the brand’s continued strength in the pre-owned market, recognising Škoda’s commitment to reliability, customer satisfaction and outstanding ownership experience. These latest honours further cement Škoda’s position as a trusted choice for buyers seeking quality and peace of mind in the used-vehicle sector.
Confirming its status as one of the best-value used family SUVs on the market, the Karoq has been named Used Car of the Year in the annual Parkers New Car Awards. The judging panel praised the Karoq’s all-round abilities, highlighting the SUV’s family-friendly features and exceptional value for money as a used buy.
The Karoq’s win comes just days after Škoda scooped no fewer than three major victories at the What Car? Used Car Awards – including the coveted overall Used Car of the Year for the Enyaq.
Škoda’s multi-award-winning electric family SUV added to its remarkable collection of industry accolades by securing the Used Electric SUV of the Year along with the overall title. Completing a hat-trick of awards for Škoda, the Kamiq also topped its category, winning the Used Small SUV of the Year.
The Škoda Plus Approved Used programme offers buyers confidence by combining the brand’s acclaimed reliability with a comprehensive package of benefits. For example, every pre-owned car undergoes a full multi-point inspection (more than 100 checks), comes with a full history and third-party vehicle status check and is backed by one year’s warranty and one year’s roadside assistance. Additionally, the car includes at least six months’ MOT (with the next one free) and a 30-day/1,000-mile exchange policy if a qualifying fault arises.
