2020 Skoda Kamiq SE TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · GL20 EBM

This Skoda Kamiq presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean bill of health at its most recent MOT on 21 July 2025. The vehicle passed with zero defects recorded at 31,189 miles, a notable improvement from the advisory noted the previous year. This suggests the previous owner addressed the flagged issue promptly rather than allowing a minor concern to escalate into a serious mechanical failure. The mileage accumulation of roughly 5,200 miles per year is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. Between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests, the car covered just 5,503 miles over a full twelve-month period. Such low annual usage typically reduces wear on consumable components like brake pads and tyres, but it raises the possibility of prolonged stationary periods. Extended sitting can cause flat-spotting on tyres, moisture accumulation in the brake system, and degradation of rubber suspension bushes and seals due to a lack of regular flexing. The 2024 test on 18 July 2024 flagged a specific concern at 25,686 miles: the rear brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored, though not seriously weakened. The subsequent clean pass in 2025 indicates the rear braking assembly was likely overhauled or replaced. A prospective buyer should still physically inspect the rear brake discs and calipers for any signs of uneven wear or binding, as well as checking the condition of the rear suspension components for corrosion or perishing, given the vehicle's low mileage and potential for infrequent use.
