2021 Skoda Kamiq SE TSI S-A 1.0L Petrol · WM70 XWA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT history indicates a decline in maintenance standards. While the car passed its test on 11 March 2026 at 14,766 miles, it initially failed due to an inoperative engine management indicator light and a worn offside front tyre. The presence of an MIL failure is a significant concern as it suggests an electronic malfunction was not addressed before the test, marking a shift from the clean records seen in previous years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,953 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, moving from 5,829 miles in February 2024 to 10,399 miles in February 2025, and reaching 14,766 miles by March 2026. While this suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, such low mileage can sometimes lead to secondary issues like flat-spotted tyres, brake corrosion, or fluid degradation due to lack of regular use. A buyer must prioritise a professional diagnostic scan to ensure the engine management light failure recorded in March 2026 was fully rectified and not merely cleared. The failure regarding the offside front tyre being worn on the edge indicates a potential alignment issue or a worn suspension bushing that requires physical inspection to prevent further premature tyre wear. Given the low mileage and age age, also check the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the tyre rubber has not perished or cracked from long periods of standing.
