Skoda Kamiq SE L TSI (2019)
2019 Skoda Kamiq SE L TSI
CarHunch analysed 137 real MOT records for the 2019 Skoda Kamiq SE L TSI. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2019 Skoda Kamiq SE L TSI is significantly more reliable than the UK average, with a 91.9% first-time pass rate well above the 80% benchmark, and only 9.5% of vehicles ever recording a dangerous defect—a reassuringly low figure for a buyer. The petrol engine variant maintains this strong performance at 91.8%, suggesting consistent engineering across the fleet.
These cars are running light for their age at an average of 29,526 miles, which explains the low failure rate of just 0.39 per vehicle; you're looking at a cohort that hasn't accumulated enough wear to expose serious problems yet. With an average of 3.9 advisories per test, minor wear items are cropping up as expected, but the overall picture is clean—check service history and suspension components when buying used, since these will be the next wear points.
What to check before buying a 2019 Skoda Kamiq SE L 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.
