2021 Skoda Kamiq SE TSI 1.0L Petrol · PX71 OTF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 10 June 2026 at 27,027 miles passed despite an advisory for an offside front tyre worn close to the legal limit with edge wear. This mirrors an advisory from the December 2025 test, where the nearside front tyre showed similar wear, suggesting that the owner tends to defer tyre replacement until they reach the point of failure. The mileage profile is low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,400 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap in usage between November 2024 and December 2025, where the car covered only 1,816 miles in over thirteen months. The failure on 1 November 2024 at 6,423 miles was due to a damaged nearside front tyre with exposed cords, which was rectified before the subsequent pass days later. This low mileage generally reduces mechanical strain on the drivetrain but can lead to age degradation of rubber components. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension and alignment, as the recurring edge wear on both front tyres suggests a tracking issue or worn suspension bushes. The braking system also requires attention; the December 2025 record flagged thin pads on all wheels and pitted or scored rear brake discs. While these components passed the latest test, the presence of pitting on the discs indicates they are nearing the end of their effective life. Verify that the pads and discs were replaced following those previous advisories to avoid immediate post-purchase costs.
