2022 Skoda Kamiq SE TSI S-A 1.0L Petrol · MJ22 TTF

The latest DVSA MOT inspection conducted on 28 April 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. Based on the available history, the maintenance trend appears stable and the vehicle has been kept in a condition that meets all legal roadworthiness standards without any noted deterioration. The absence of any recorded failures suggests a vehicle that has been well-preserved and has experienced very little operational stress. The recorded mileage of 5,586 miles is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 1,396 miles per year. While this indicates minimal mechanical wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension components, such low usage often implies the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary. This usage profile shifts the primary mechanical risk from typical wear-and-tear to degradation caused by inactivity, which can negatively affect various rubber components and fluid-based systems. Given the low mileage and periods of standing, a physical inspection should prioritise the condition of the tyres. Even with significant tread remaining, the rubber may have perished or developed sidewall cracking due to age and a lack of regular heat cycles. You should also examine the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion and check for binding calipers, which can occur when a vehicle is not driven frequently. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or vibrations that could indicate tyre flat-spotting or uneven brake disc wear. Particular attention must be paid to the 12V battery health and the vehicle service history. Low-mileage cars are prone to battery sulfation and premature failure if they have not been maintained on a trickle charger. Furthermore, you must verify that the engine oil and brake fluid have been changed according to the manufacturer's time-based intervals rather than mileage intervals, as these fluids degrade chemically over time regardless of distance travelled. Ensure the service book contains the appropriate stamps to confirm that calendar-based maintenance has been strictly adhered to.
