Kościuszko began his motorsport career as a 15-year-old in karting.{{cite web|url=http://www.kosciuszko.com.pl/english/michal_kosciuszko/index.html|title=Profile|work=kosciuszko.com.pl|accessdate=21 July 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303212720/http://www.kosciuszko.com.pl/english/michal_kosciuszko/index.html|archive-date=3 March 2016|url-status=dead}} At 17 he switched to rallying. In 2006, he began competing in the JWRC in a Suzuki Ignis S1600. In 2007, he switched to a Renault Clio S1600, finishing third in the category on Rally Finland.{{cite web|url=http://ewrc-results.com/profile.php?profile=211|title=Driver profile – Michal Kosciuszko|work=eWRC-results.com|publisher=eWRC.cz|accessdate=21 July 2011}} He returned to Suzuki for the final round of the season in a Swift S1600 and continued using the model in 2008. He finished third in the JWRC category and tenth overall on the 2008 Rally Mexico, before winning the next round in Sardinia. He finished the season in fifth in the standings. He continued with Suzuki in 2009, winning in Portugal and Argentina and finishing runner-up overall.

In 2010, Kościuszko made the move to the SWRC, starting the season in a Ford Fiesta S2000.
