Skoda Kamiq MOT history & failure rates
Run a free MOT history check on any Skoda Kamiq and see every recorded test, every advisory and every mileage reading. The data comes straight from the DVSA — the same source the testing centres feed.
What's in the Skoda Kamiq MOT record
Type the registration of any UK Skoda Kamiq crossover and we'll display every annual MOT test the DVSA holds. That includes the pass/fail outcome, the recorded mileage at each test, every advisory note (so you can see what the tester flagged for the next visit) and the failure reasons in detail when an attempt didn't pass. The MOT history is the strongest mileage paper-trail in the UK and the cheapest piece of due diligence available before any used-car purchase.
What MOT history tells you about a Kamiq
Across UK Kamiqs, the most useful patterns to look for are: a clean run of advisory-free tests on a younger car (it's been cared for); recurring advisories on the same component (something was nursed and never properly fixed); a fail with a same-day re-test pass (the seller fixed it cheaply at the testing centre); and any year-on-year mileage drop (a strong signal of clocking that the MOT trail is uniquely placed to expose).
Petrol Kamiq considerations
Look out for repeated emissions advisories, leaky exhaust components and engine warning lights cleared just before testing day. The MOT history won't catch a recently-cleared light, but a service-history with no DTC printouts at the same time as a test pass is a question worth asking.
Frequently asked questions
- Yes. Type the UK registration on the MOT page and we'll show every recorded test the DVSA holds — pass, fail, mileage and advisory notes. The check is free and doesn't need an account for your first three lookups.
- Pass rates vary substantially by age. A 3-year-old Kamiq sits in the 90% pass-rate range; a 10-year-old example in the 60s. Use the MOT history to see how a specific car has performed.
- An advisory is something the tester noted as wearing or marginal — not enough to fail the test today, but worth knowing about. Repeat advisories on the same component across years are the single most useful signal in the report.
- Any UK-registered Skoda Kamiq from 2005 onwards has digital MOT records you can pull up here. Earlier paper records aren't available digitally even from official sources.
- MOT history is essential but not exhaustive. It won't show outstanding finance, stolen markers, insurance write-off categories or import status. For those, run a Full HPI check — the MOT history is bundled in.
