Škoda Kamiq: brake discs that wear early and fail the inspection early on (AUTO BILD, 2026 TÜV report)

Sources are not verified in real time and no entry confirms that your car is affected.

Engine / equipment: Brake discs of the Škoda Kamiq
Period mentioned: 2019–2026
Symptoms: The source describes no symptoms: these are defects found by the German roadworthiness test.
Possible cause described: AUTO BILD (June 2026), with the TÜV report data, says that the Kamiq's brake discs wear much more than those of comparable cars, from the first inspection on, and that the service brake function is criticised slightly more than normal at every age. Otherwise the Kamiq does well: no oil leaks and a reliable exhaust. AUTO BILD also mentions timing chain problems on the petrol engines and DSG gearboxes that sometimes jerk.
Check for the garage: Before the MOT or periodic inspection, and when buying one second-hand, have the disc thickness measured and check for a lip or scoring.
