2020 Skoda Kamiq SE L TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · AF70 KZM

The vehicle holds a current, valid MOT following a pass on 6 March 2026 at 36,088 miles, issued just over three months ago. The maintenance trend is broadly stable rather than resolving, as the record shows a recurring pattern of minor headlamp aim failures and a persistent advisory regarding a nearside rear child seat blocking the adult belt inspection. The most recent test required the internal headlight adjuster to be altered before a pass could be issued, indicating the aim fault was corrected at the time rather than being a long-term underlying defect. No serious structural or safety-critical failures appear in the current certificate. The mileage progression is consistent with light, regular use. The car covered approximately 8,248 miles between the February 2024 test at 20,579 miles and the February 2025 test at 28,840 miles, then added a further 7,248 miles by the March 2026 test at 36,088 miles. This equates to roughly 6,000 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests no prolonged periods of standing or sudden high-mileage accumulation that would raise concerns about neglected servicing or excessive wear. A buyer should pay particular attention to the rear braking system and tyre condition during any physical inspection. In the February 2025 test at 28,840 miles, the tester flagged a rear brake disc as worn, pitted or scored, though not seriously weakened, and both rear tyres were noted as slightly damaged, cracking or perishing on the inner sidewalls. The same test also recorded a cut in a rear tyre deep enough to reach the ply or cords, which resulted in a failure before the car was retested and passed later that day. This suggests the rear tyres were replaced between the two February 2025 appointments, but the underlying condition warrants a close check for uneven wear, sidewall deterioration, and the current state of the rear brake discs and pads. The repeated headlamp aim issues across multiple tests, combined with the tester repeatedly needing to alter the internal adjuster to recheck lights, point to either a weak adjuster mechanism or possible disturbance of the headlamp unit, for example from a minor impact or bulb replacement. The nearside rear child seat advisory has appeared at every recorded test since at least February 2024, preventing a full inspection of the adult seatbelt. A buyer should remove the child seat and verify the belt retracts, locks, and shows no fraying or contamination. Beyond these specific items, the record is otherwise clean, with no evidence of suspension, steering, or exhaust emission failures, which is a positive indicator of overall mechanical care.
