SKODA KAMIQ SE TSI S-A2020 · 1.0L Petrol

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-10-31 at 38,575 miles recorded a conflicting result—both PASSED and FAILED—without defects detailed. This inconsistency raises questions about the test’s validity, though prior MOTs from 2024-10-24 (27,746 miles) and 2023-10-31 (16,907 miles) showed no defects. The pattern suggests stable roadworthiness, but the 2025 failure warrants scrutiny. No recurring mechanical issues or advisories are documented, indicating no systemic faults in the recorded history. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a six-year-old vehicle, accumulating approximately 6,429 miles annually. Gaps between MOTs of roughly 12 months reflect regular maintenance intervals, with no rapid mileage surges that might accelerate wear on components like brakes, suspension, or tyres. The absence of defects in three consecutive tests implies consistent upkeep, though the 2025 failure—despite no recorded issues—suggests potential administrative error or unreported minor faults. A buyer should verify the 2025 test’s outcome with the DVSA or the testing centre to resolve the contradiction. Physically inspect the braking system, as rear brake binding or uneven disc wear could go undetected in MOTs. Check suspension components, including coil springs and bushes, for wear, and assess exhaust emissions for irregularities. While the record shows no structural corrosion or major faults, the vehicle’s age necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the absence of hidden issues.
