2022 Skoda Kamiq SE TSI 1.0L Petrol · EU71 CKP

A clean record of roadworthiness with no historical MOT failures defines this vehicle's mechanical history. The most recent test on 16 January 2026 resulted in a pass, although it introduced the first mechanical advisory for the vehicle regarding rear brake pads wearing thin, contrasting with the 2025 test which only noted administrative issues regarding driver visibility. The accumulation of 26,846 miles over approximately four years represents a typical usage pattern of roughly 6,712 miles per annum. This level of use suggests a balanced duty cycle that avoids the risks associated with prolonged vehicle stasis while remaining low enough to limit excessive wear on primary drivetrain components and suspension bushings. The specific advisory for rear brake pads requires direct attention during a pre-purchase inspection. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any metallic scraping or grinding noises from the rear of the vehicle during braking, which would indicate the friction material has depleted. The pedal feel should be monitored for any unusual softness or a lack of immediate response. While the DVSA records show no failures or advisories related to the chassis or steering, the current wear on the rear brakes warrants a check for binding calipers. Ensuring that the brake discs are not excessively scored and that the pads have worn evenly across both sides of the axle will confirm whether the wear is a result of standard usage or a mechanical imbalance.
