I bought my Karoq approved used last year March from the dealership. Current mileage - approx 53k The MOT has just expired, I didn't realise it would need it now. I'm not sure what service it needs next and if I should do the service now with MOT or wait until I get the service indicator flash. Also, would you recommend servicing and MOT with Skoda or local garage?

So I got new tyres fitted at Costco, Michelin CrossClimates all round. But with the battery recharge, it's difficult for me because I live in flats on a busy road, so I would have to take the battery out of the car to recharge it. But if the battery is disconnected, the car won't lock. Is it worth buying an extra battery and new charger then alternating between the two batteries? My car has start / stop - would this make it more difficult to recharge?

Hi everyone, I have 2016 skoda fabia which has had everything go wrong with it recently. The engine light came on, it keeps thinking my tail light isn't working, needs new tyres all around, and the catalytic converter failed at the last mot at 1 garage. And the scroll wheel on the right side of the steering doesn't work. It's only done 42k miles 😑 and had regular services and everything. I had a friend of mine use his obd2 reader to show me the codes but I don't know what they mean. Can you guys explain to me what the problems are and how much they'll cost to fix? And are they even worth fixing? Thanks in advance 😊

REG: OS09NYA Hi Everyone, My fabia's MOT was due recently and I took it to a nearby garage and they tested it a couple of times, and said the car failed the MOT on emissions. I was a bit surprised as it's only a 2016 car. The official reason was Now, he's saying the catalytic converter needs to be replaced and I can either go for a manufacturer part at £1420 or aftermarket part at £540 + £150 labour (whichever part I go with). How likely is it that he's not trying to rip me off or his machines not working properly? Is the price he's quoted me a decent price? Does it really need a catalytic converter replacement? Any advice would be helpful, because I really don't want to go broke fixing my almost new car. Thanks Sonya
