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

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following its most recent MOT on 2025-08-21, which it passed with only a minor defect concerning the front tyres. However, the same test had previously failed on the same day due to a non-functioning offside front position lamp and the same tyre condition, indicating a maintenance issue that was resolved between tests. The overall trend shows a stable but inconsistent maintenance pattern, with the car passing its MOT in 2024 and 2023 but failing in 2025 after a long gap. This suggests that while the vehicle has been driven regularly, attention to minor issues has been inconsistent. The recorded mileage of 26,711 miles over six years equates to approximately 4,452 miles per year, which is low for a vehicle of this age. This suggests either light use or periods of inactivity, which can affect components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. The MOT history shows a significant gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests, with the car accumulating 7,150 miles in just one year. This rapid increase in mileage may have contributed to the wear seen on the rear brake discs in 2023, which were noted as worn but not excessive. The absence of defects in the 2024 test indicates that the vehicle was maintained adequately during that period. The recurring issue with the front tyres—slight damage and cracking on both sides—warrants close inspection, as this could indicate either poor-quality tyres or prolonged storage without proper maintenance. Buyers should also examine the rear suspension components, as the 2023 MOT noted worn brake discs, which may be linked to suspension bushing wear or coil spring fatigue. The binding rear brakes flagged in the 2025 MOT suggest potential issues with brake caliper operation or rusted components, which could affect braking performance. Structural integrity should be checked for any signs of corrosion, particularly in wheel arches and underbody areas, as low mileage does not eliminate the risk of rust in certain climates.
