2022 Skoda Kamiq SE TSI 1.5L Petrol · AP22 FFJ

This Škoda Kamiq SE TSI has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over its available MOT history, passing its most recent test on 27 May 2025 at just 20,843 miles. The absence of any defects or advisories at that point suggests the vehicle cleared all mandatory checks for brakes, steering, suspension, emissions, and structural integrity without issue. However, the gap of nearly 14 months since the last MOT—nearly 2,000 miles per year—means critical components like tyres, brakes, and suspension may now require verification. The lack of prior failures does not guarantee current condition, particularly for wear items that degrade over time. The recorded mileage of 20,843 miles over approximately four years implies exceptionally light usage, averaging around 5,200 miles annually. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear, the prolonged period without an MOT test raises questions about maintenance consistency. The single test date in 2025 leaves no context for recurring issues or improvements, but the static mileage suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary. This could accelerate degradation in fluids, battery health, or minor corrosion if left exposed to the elements. Given the sparse MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an immediate inspection of high-wear items: the brake discs and pads (particularly rear, as binding was not recorded but could develop), suspension bushes and coil springs for stiffness or cracking, and tyre tread depth (failing twice on tread suggests this may have been overlooked). The absence of emissions-related advisories in the last test does not rule out catalytic converter or exhaust system corrosion, so visual checks for rust or leaks are essential. Structural integrity, while not flagged, should be assessed for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and underbody, especially if the vehicle was stored outdoors. The battery and fluid levels (coolant, brake fluid, power steering) warrant verification, as prolonged inactivity can lead to degradation.
