2021 Skoda Kamiq SE L TSI S-A 1.0L Petrol · LK21 FCC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive servicing. The most recent test in April 2026 at 42,911 miles indicated a pass despite an advisory for thin offside front brake pads. This follows a pattern of deferred maintenance regarding the braking system, suggesting that components are only addressed once they approach failure limits rather than being replaced during scheduled service intervals. The mileage progression is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,600 miles per year. The jump from 26,970 miles in April 2024 to 34,645 miles in April 2025 shows steady usage of roughly 7,700 miles over that period. This low annual mileage suggests the car has not been subjected to high motorway stress, though it may explain the surface corrosion and pitting on the brake hardware noted in the earlier records. A buyer should focus specifically on the rear braking system during a physical inspection. The 2024 and 2025 tests both flagged significant pitting, scoring, and heavy rust on the rear brake discs, which indicates the vehicle may sit for long periods or operate in corrosive environments where moisture accumulates quickly. While the vehicle passed, the recurring nature of these faults suggests the calipers may be sticking or the discs are degrading prematurely. Checking the remaining thickness of the offside front pads is also essential to ensure the advisory from the April 2026 test has actually been addressed.
