2021 Skoda Kamiq S TSI 1.0L Petrol · EU71 AHJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 19 May 2026 at 65,032 miles. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest test introduces a new advisory regarding thin front brake pads. This follows a clean pass in May 2025, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without chronic recurring failures. The mileage is high for a five year old vehicle, averaging roughly 13,000 miles per year. The accumulation has accelerated recently; the car covered 13,774 miles between May 2025 and May 2026, compared to 13,341 miles in the preceding year. This consistent high-usage pattern increases the likelihood of premature wear on drivetrain components and suspension bushings. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system. The May 2026 advisory for thin front pads indicates these consumables are nearing the end of their service life and will require immediate replacement. While the May 2025 test was clean, the April 2024 test at 37,917 miles flagged play in the offside steering rack inner joints. You must verify that this steering component was actually replaced and not merely patched, as such wear is typical for high-mileage urban use. Given the mileage and the specific history of steering play, a thorough check of the lower suspension arms and wheel bearings is advised. There are no recorded instances of structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures, which suggests the chassis remains sound despite the heavy road use.
