Tyres at the MOT
In 2025, the Skoda Kamiq failed its MOT on tyres in 3.8% of 24,640 tests. Cars of the same age failed on tyres 5.0% of the time, so it failed less often than average for its age. Another 20.7% passed with a tyre advisory, usually tread close to the limit.

Resetting the tyre pressure warning light on your Skoda
Skodas generally use an indirect system (the tyre pressure loss indicator) that compares wheel speeds through the ABS, so you need to store the pressures after setting them.
- Set all four tyres to the prescribed cold pressure.
- Switch the ignition on.
- Press CAR on the touchscreen, then Vehicle status.
- Choose Tyre Pressure Loss Indicator, press SET and follow the instructions. A message confirms the pressures are stored.
Older models with a button
- With the ignition on, press and hold the tyre-symbol SET button on the centre console until it beeps and the light goes out.
When to reset: Store the pressures after every adjustment or wheel change. Skoda also suggests re-storing them once a year.
Menu names vary by model and year, so check your handbook if yours looks different. More in what the warning light means.

Put your reg in and we'll show the figures for your exact car, including the wheel size it left the factory on.
What tyre pressure should a Kamiq have?
33 psi at the front and 33 psi at the rear (2.3 and 2.3 bar) on the standard 18-inch wheels, with the tyres cold.
Should I use a higher pressure when the car is loaded?
The manufacturer gives one figure for this car, so no. If you're carrying a full load for a long motorway run, the label on the door pillar may show a higher figure — follow that if it does.
What tyre size does the Kamiq use?
215/45R18. The size is on the tyre's sidewall, e.g. 235/40R18.
Does the Skoda Kamiq fail the MOT on tyres more often?
No, less often than average for its age. In 2025, 3.8% of Skoda Kamiq MOT tests failed on tyres, against 5.0% for cars of the same age (DVSA MOT data, 24,640 tests). Another 20.7% passed with a tyre advisory.
Check them cold. Pressures are set for tyres that haven't been driven more than a mile or two. After a run they read 3–4 psi high.
Once a month, and before a long trip. Tyres lose about 1 psi a month on their own.
The sticker wins. If your car's door-pillar or fuel-flap label says something different, go with that — it knows your exact spec.
