Skoda Kamiq SE TSI S A (2021)
2021 Skoda Kamiq SE TSI S A
CarHunch analysed 955 real MOT records for the 2021 Skoda Kamiq SE TSI S A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2021 Skoda Kamiq is a strong performer: 91.8% of these cars pass their MOT first time, well ahead of the UK average of 80%, and only 7% have ever recorded a dangerous defect—a low figure that suggests no systemic safety concerns. The petrol engine variant (which accounts for 927 of the 955 cars tested) maintains that 91.5% pass rate, so fuel type isn't a reliability differentiator here.
At 22,370 miles median for a three-year-old car, these Kamiqs are being run relatively gently, which partly explains the clean bill of health. When failures do happen, they're minor: just 0.23 failures per vehicle on average, though advisories are slightly more common at 1.8 per car, typically pointing to wear items rather than structural problems. If you're buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection to confirm service history—these cars are proving durable, but consistent maintenance is what keeps them that way.
What to check before buying a 2021 Skoda Kamiq SE TSI S A
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.
