2022 Skoda Kamiq Monte Carlo TSI S-A 1.0L Petrol · GY22 YGZ

The most recent MOT, carried out on 6 July 2026, was passed with no recorded defects, confirming that the vehicle met the statutory safety and emissions standards at that time. The only entries in the MOT history are a clean pass in 2025 and two tyre‑related advisories in that same year, indicating that the car has not suffered any major mechanical failures and that its overall maintenance trend appears stable rather than deteriorating. At four years old and 42 727 miles, the Skoda Kamiq averages roughly 10 700 miles per annum, which sits comfortably within the typical UK usage pattern for a compact SUV. This level of annual mileage suggests regular, moderate use rather than excessive short‑trip abuse or prolonged periods of inactivity. There are no large mileage gaps evident in the record, so the wear on consumables such as brake pads, clutch components and suspension bushings should correspond closely to the mileage rather than to calendar age alone. The advisories from the 2025 MOT both relate to the rear tyres – a near‑side inner cut and an off‑side nail. Although neither defect breached the ply, they highlight the need for a thorough visual inspection of both rear tyres for any progression of the cuts, sidewall cracking or embedded foreign objects. On a test drive listen for any low‑frequency thumps or vibrations that could indicate a developing tyre separation, and feel for any pull or uneven grip that might betray uneven wear. If the cuts have deepened or the nail has caused internal damage, replacement of the affected tyre(s) will be required promptly to maintain safe handling and to avoid a future failure during a MOT. Beyond the tyres, the vehicle’s age and moderate mileage warrant checks on time‑sensitive items. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for dry‑rot or cracking, especially if the car has spent periods stationary, and verify tread depth is above the legal minimum. Examine the battery terminals for corrosion and assess the 12 V battery’s cranking performance, as four‑year‑old batteries can lose capacity even with modest use. Look for any signs of brake disc rust or caliper binding, particularly on the rear discs which can corrode when the car is parked for long stretches; any uneven pad wear or pedal pulsation should be investigated. Finally, confirm that the service history includes regular oil and filter changes, coolant flushes and transmission fluid checks in line with the manufacturer’s interval, as fluid degradation is a calendar‑driven issue that can affect engine longevity even at relatively low mileage.
