CarHunch analysed 426 real MOT records for the 2022 Skoda Kamiq S TSI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Skoda Kamiq S TSI is a solid performer, passing its MOT on the first attempt 91.3% of the time—well ahead of the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are rare at just 5.9% of vehicles. This petrol supermini is catching on with buyers, and the data reflects vehicles that have been driven hard; the median mileage sits at 22,820 miles for a two-year-old, which is typical for this age.

When these cars do need attention, it's minor: only 0.13 failures per vehicle on average, with 1.1 advisories flagging routine wear items rather than structural problems. If you're buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the transmission and clutch—the Kamiq's main weak spots—and expect to budget for annual servicing to maintain this reliability record.

What to check before buying a 2022 Skoda Kamiq S TSI

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
