2022 Skoda Kamiq SE TSI S A

CarHunch analysed 1,129 real MOT records for the 2022 Skoda Kamiq SE TSI S A. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Skoda Kamiq SE TSI is a genuinely reliable performer, hitting a 91% first-time pass rate that sits well above the UK average of 80%—and dangerous defects are rare at just 3.3% of vehicles, so you're looking at a safe buy from a structural standpoint. At 22,956 miles average, these cars are still run in, and the low failure rate of 0.12 per vehicle confirms the TSI engine and running gear are holding up solidly so far.

Most owners will encounter minor advisories (averaging 1.0 per car) rather than actual failures, which is typical wear-and-tear stuff rather than cause for concern. Before purchasing, ask the seller for a full MOT history and check that any advisories were addressed promptly—this generation is proving itself mechanically sound, so neglect is your main risk factor.

What to check before buying a 2022 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.
