2022 Skoda Kamiq SE Drive TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · FH22 CFN

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 29 July 2026 with no defects recorded. This follows a similarly clean pass in July 2025, indicating a very stable maintenance trend. The absence of any advisories or failures across its testing history suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and that there are no immediate mechanical concerns or structural integrity issues flagged by the DVSA. The recorded mileage of 11,503 miles over approximately four years is significantly lower than the UK average, averaging roughly 2,876 miles per year. While this low usage implies minimal wear on the engine internals, gearbox, and suspension bushings, it also suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary. This usage profile shifts the primary mechanical risk from wear-and-tear degradation to age-related deterioration of rubber components and fluid stability. Given the clean MOT record and low mileage, the prospective buyer should focus on physical checks related to vehicle standing. It is essential to examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. The brake discs should be inspected for heavy surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to keep the braking surfaces clean and the pistons moving freely. During the test drive, listen for any unusual brake shudder or sticking. Furthermore, the health of the 12V battery should be verified, as infrequent use can lead to premature capacity loss and starting issues. The buyer must scrutinize the service book to ensure that oil and filter changes have been performed according to the manufacturer's time-based intervals rather than relying solely on mileage, as engine oil degrades through oxidation over time. Finally, a visual inspection of the engine bay for any signs of rodent damage to wiring looms or perished wiper blades is recommended for vehicles with this specific usage profile.
