2022 Skoda Kamiq Monte Carlo TSI S-A 1.0L Petrol · EU22 BND

Based on the official DVSA MOT records, the 2022 Skoda Kamiq Monte Carlo TSI S-A presents a sound mechanical profile with a firmly improving maintenance trend. The most recent test, conducted on 21 May 2026 at 29,598 miles, passed cleanly with zero defects recorded. This is a significant improvement over the preceding 18 months, during which the vehicle suffered a failure and multiple advisories before returning to a fully compliant state. The record shows a clear trajectory from neglected consumable components to a properly maintained vehicle, suggesting the current or most recent keeper has addressed the earlier tyre degradation issues comprehensively. The mileage accumulation of approximately 7,400 miles per year is entirely typical for a four-year-old vehicle of this class. The annual tests show a consistent and gradual increase from 18,420 miles in April 2025 to 29,598 miles by May 2026, indicating regular daily use rather than prolonged standing or sudden high-mileage trips. The 10-month gap between the June 2025 pass at 18,757 miles and the May 2026 pass at 29,598 miles represents a period of heavier use, adding nearly 11,000 miles in under a year. No mileage anomalies or suspicious gaps are present in the record. The only recurring theme in the history is tyre condition, which surfaced as a serious concern in April and May 2025. The April 2025 failure at 18,420 miles flagged all four 215/45R18 tyres for cracking, perishing, and cuts deep enough to expose the ply or cords. A retest the following day still recorded perishing advisories on both offside tyres, though the nearside replacements resolved the immediate failure. By June 2025, all tyre-related defects were cleared. A prospective buyer should still inspect the current tyre condition carefully, checking the date codes and sidewalls for any renewed signs of perishing, particularly given the low-profile 18-inch fitment which is more susceptible to sidewall damage from potholes. The sill under covers noted in the 2025 tests remain a point of interest; while not a defect, they can obscure structural corrosion on the inner sills and subframes. A physical inspection underneath the vehicle is advisable to confirm there is no hidden rust or accident-related damage beneath those covers. No suspension, braking, or exhaust defects have ever been recorded, which supports a well-maintained drivetrain.
