Buying a used Skoda Kamiq Monte Carlo: what to check
These checks follow the Skoda Kamiq Monte Carlo’s own MOT record: the areas it fails on most often, and how that changes as the car gets older. None of them replaces a mechanic’s inspection, but they tell you where to look first.
By mileage, the steepest fall is from 0–30,000 mi to 30,000–60,000 mi: 93.2% down to 90.4%. Mileage matters as well as age, so compare the car’s recorded mileages with its year.
1. Brakes
Recorded in 54.8% of failed Skoda Kamiq Monte Carlo MOTs.
On the test drive, the car should stop straight without pulling or juddering, and the handbrake should hold it on a slope. Look through the wheels for scored or heavily lipped discs.
2. Tyres
Recorded in 30.1% of failed Skoda Kamiq Monte Carlo MOTs.
Check tread depth across the whole width of every tyre, including the inner edge. Uneven wear can point to alignment or suspension problems. Look for cuts and bulges in the sidewalls.
3. Lights and electrics
Recorded in 22.4% of failed Skoda Kamiq Monte Carlo MOTs.
Walk round with the lights on: headlights (dipped and main), indicators, brake lights, fog light and number-plate lamp. Check the dashboard warning lights come on with the ignition, then go out once the engine starts.
4. Windscreen and wipers
Recorded in 6.7% of failed Skoda Kamiq Monte Carlo MOTs.
Look for windscreen chips and cracks in the driver’s line of sight, and check the wipers clear the screen and the washers work.
5. Seat belts and airbags
Recorded in 3.7% of failed Skoda Kamiq Monte Carlo MOTs.
Pull every seat belt out fully and let it retract. Check the buckles latch and release, and that the airbag warning light goes out after starting.
Check the car’s own MOT history. Averages describe the model, not the car in front of you. Look up its registration for past failures, advisories that were never fixed, and gaps or dips in the recorded mileage.
Ask for the service history. Invoices show what was done and when; a stamp alone shows less. See how to check Skoda service history and what a service history check can tell you.
