In 2025, 88.8% of Skoda Kamiq MOT tests were passed first time, against 72.8% for all cars. Cars of the same ages as the Skoda Kamiqs tested pass 88.1% of the time, so the Skoda Kamiq does about as well as average for its age. In 2024 its pass rate was 89.1%.
Comparing like with like: each bar pair covers cars of the same age, so an older average age does not count against a model.

United Kingdom figures from DfT table VEH0220 (licensed cars at the end of each year, SORN excluded), so they differ slightly from the Great Britain counts elsewhere on this page. How we use engine sizes.
The Vehicle Certification Agency’s new car data lists the Skoda Kamiq from 2025, and still lists it. On the WLTP test (listings 2025 to 2026), official combined fuel economy for its petrol versions ranges from 47.4 to 52.4 mpg, with CO2 of 122 to 135 g/km.
| Engine and fuel | Combined mpg | CO2 g/km | Listed | Euro standard | Versions |

DVSA lists 2 safety recalls for the Skoda Kamiq since 1992, the first in 2019. The most recent was launched on 25 March 2020.
The other recall
A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Skoda Kamiq. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.
