2020 Skoda Kamiq SE L TSI S-A 1.5L Petrol · GU70 XEP

The most recent MOT from November 2025 shows a pass, but it highlights a significant issue: all four tyres are showing signs of damage, cracking, or perishing. This is a clear departure from the previous two years of completely clean MOT history. The vehicle's condition trend is currently worsening in terms of consumable maintenance. While the car was defect-free in 2023 and 2024, the sudden appearance of perishing rubber across the entire set suggests that the tyres are ageing significantly despite the low mileage. With only 17,477 miles recorded over approximately six years, the car has averaged roughly 2,913 miles per year. This is exceptionally low usage. While this means less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, the MOT history suggests the vehicle may have spent long periods standing still. This lack of movement is likely why the tyres are cracking and perishing due to age rather than tread wear. The low mileage is an ambiguous signal; it suggests a well-preserved interior and engine, but it also increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, seals, and fluids that haven't been regularly circulated. Before purchasing, you must inspect the condition of all tyres to see if they require immediate replacement.
