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

The 2020 Skoda Kamiq SE L TSI S-A presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 1 October 2025 at 49,609 miles with zero defects recorded. That outcome is significant. The previous two tests in 2023 and 2024 both flagged wear-related advisories, so the absence of any issues in the most recent inspection suggests the owner addressed those items promptly. The trajectory from advisories to a fully clear result points to attentive upkeep in the last eighteen months. The mileage accumulation is consistent and unremarkable for a six-year-old vehicle. Between the September 2023 test at 30,588 miles and the September 2024 test at 40,070 miles, the car covered 9,482 miles in twelve months. The following year saw a further 9,539 miles added by October 2025. That steady annual rate of roughly 9,500 miles sits comfortably within normal use and raises no concern about long periods of inactivity or sudden high-mileage surges that could mask neglect. The 2023 test at 30,588 miles flagged front and rear brake pads wearing thin along with nearside front tyre outer edge wear. The 2024 test at 40,070 miles recorded only a nearside rear outer tyre worn close to the legal limit. Brake pads and tyres are consumable items, and their replacement between tests is expected. Still, the repeated appearance of uneven tyre wear, specifically outer edge wear on the nearside front in 2023 and the nearside rear in 2024, warrants attention. A buyer should inspect the suspension bushes, tracking alignment, and wheel geometry in person. Uneven outer edge wear on different axles across consecutive years could indicate a persistent alignment issue rather than simple wear. The braking system should also be checked for disc condition and caliper operation, given that both axles were flagged for thin pads at the 2023 test. While the clean 2025 result is reassuring, a physical inspection of these components will confirm whether the underlying causes were properly resolved or merely masked by part replacement.
