2021 Skoda Kamiq S TSI 1.0L Petrol · EU71 ACX

The vehicle has a recent MOT history with a mix of passed and failed tests, indicating inconsistent maintenance. The most recent test on 2025-11-07 at 49,830 miles failed due to front and rear brake pads worn below the legal limit (1.5 mm), alongside rear tyres nearing the legal tread limit and a worn rear brake disc. This suggests critical braking system deterioration and tyre wear, raising concerns about safety margins. A prior test on the same day at identical mileage passed, but the failure highlights unresolved issues, pointing to a worsening trend in brake and tyre maintenance. Mileage accumulation aligns with the vehicle’s age, averaging ~9,966 miles annually. No significant gaps or abrupt increases are evident, as mileage rose steadily from 177 miles in 2021 to 49,830 by 2025. The 2024 test at 37,864 miles and 2023 test at 28,620 miles show consistent progression, reflecting regular use without prolonged inactivity. Recurring brake pad failures and tyre wear indicate neglect of consumables, likely due to infrequent checks or delayed replacements. The 2021 failure involving a broken tailgate light and body component damage suggests past structural or electrical oversights, though no recent structural issues are recorded. Buyers should prioritize inspecting brake pad thickness, tyre tread depth, and disc condition, as these components show progressive wear. Additionally, checking suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, given the vehicle’s age, would be prudent to avoid costly future repairs. The 2025 failure underscores urgent need for brake system overhaul, while historical data reveals a pattern of deferred maintenance. Structural integrity appears stable in recent years, but the 2021 body damage incident warrants verification of repair quality. Prospective buyers must scrutinize the braking system’s current state and assess whether previous owners addressed recurring issues, as unresolved faults could escalate into safety risks.
