Kamiq Se Tsi: a strong MOT record by UK norms

Across 2,394 MOT tests, the Kamiq Se Tsi returns 90.3% first-time pass — comfortably ahead of the UK fleet average. The single most-logged Major fail is brake pads worn below 1.5 mm. Excessive fluctuation in brake effort through each wheel and an excessively worn brake disc round out the top three. Average tested mileage sits at 21,875, which is the lens to read those failure rankings through. If you own one and the next test is close, the ranked list below is a sensible pre-test checklist.
