Milton Keynes, 6 November 2025 – Škoda has once again reinforced its reputation for long-term quality and value, securing a remarkable series of accolades in the UK used-car market. Within a single week, the brand claimed top honours at two of the industry’s most respected awards, highlighting its enduring appeal among drivers seeking reliability, practicality, and excellent ownership experience.
Karoq Crowned Parkers Used Car of the Year
Confirming its position as one of the smartest buys in the used family SUV segment, the Škoda Karoq was named Used Car of the Year at the annual Parkers New Car Awards. Judges praised the SUV for its all-round capabilities, family-friendly design, and exceptional value for money.
Keith Adams, Editor at Parkers, commented:
“The Karoq is the used car that does everything well. It’s comfortable, solidly built and reassuringly dependable, with the space and practicality families need. Prices have become really attractive, which makes it one of the smartest buys on the market right now – a car that proves quality and value can go hand in hand.”
The accolade reflects Škoda’s ongoing commitment to producing vehicles that not only meet but exceed expectations for performance, comfort, and longevity in the pre-owned market.
Enyaq Leads the Way at What Car? Used Car Awards
Just days after the Karoq’s win, Škoda achieved further recognition at the What Car? Used Car Awards, where the Enyaq was named overall Used Car of the Year, while also securing Used Electric SUV of the Year. The Kamiq added another victory, taking home the award for Used Small SUV of the Year.
Mark Pearson, Used Cars Editor at What Car?, explained the Enyaq’s appeal:
“The Enyaq has always appealed to us as a smart and desirable SUV. It’s good to drive, comfortable to ride in, extremely practical, and it comes with a decent and very usable electric range. Inside, there’s a smart and well-equipped interior with masses of room, and a large boot, making it a perfect car for families. No other car on our shortlist this year came close to providing the all-round practicality and exceptional value of a used Enyaq.”
These awards highlight Škoda’s strength in both traditional and electric vehicles, showcasing the brand’s ability to deliver quality, practicality, and value across its SUV range.
Confidence Through Škoda Plus Approved Used
Škoda’s achievements are underpinned by the Škoda Plus Approved Used programme, which gives buyers confidence in every pre-owned vehicle. Each car undergoes a rigorous multi-point inspection of over 100 checks, comes with a full history and third-party vehicle status verification, and is backed by one year’s warranty and roadside assistance. Additional benefits include a minimum of six months’ MOT (with the next one free) and a 30-day/1,000-mile exchange policy in the event of a qualifying fault.
With Karoq, Enyaq, and Kamiq sweeping awards, Škoda continues to prove that exceptional value, practicality, and reliability are never compromised—even in the pre-owned market. For families, commuters, and electric vehicle enthusiasts alike, Škoda’s used cars offer peace of mind and ownership satisfaction that few competitors can match.
