2020 Skoda Kamiq SE TSI 1.0L Petrol · SM20 DWF

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its most recent MOT test on 21 December 2025 at 34,602 miles. This latest result indicates that the mechanical and safety issues identified in previous inspections were successfully addressed. The maintenance trend appears improving, moving from a period of minor advisory-related faults to a state with no recorded defects. At approximately six years old, the car has averaged roughly 5,700 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average for a vehicle of this age. The mileage progression shows consistent usage patterns, with 7,533 miles covered between August 2023 and August 2024, and another 7,533 miles leading into the September 2025 test. This low mileage generally suggests less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and suspension, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to rubber components perishing or brake calipers seizing. The record from 1 September 2025 at 33,117 miles highlights specific concerns regarding the offside rear brake binding and wear on both the nearside and offside front tyres. While the December 2025 test confirmed these issues were resolved, a buyer should verify that the rear brake operates freely now to ensure the caliper is not beginning to return to sticking. The uneven edge wear noted on the front tyres suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes, which warrants a physical inspection of the geometry to prevent premature wear of any new rubber.
