2018 SKODA CITIGO1.0L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having successfully passed its most recent MOT test in April 2026 at 77,319 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a period of recurring minor issues between 2024 and 2025. While the earlier tests flagged specific wear on consumable components, the latest clean sheet suggests that the owner has addressed the identified faults since the last annual inspection. The mileage pattern is consistent with a typical eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,665 miles per year. The record shows a steady accumulation of mileage, moving from 19,862 miles in May 2021 to 77,319 miles by 2026. There was a notable jump of over 13,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, indicating regular use during that period which generally helps in preventing the degradation of rubber components and seals associated with long periods of standing. A buyer should pay close attention to the suspension and tyre condition during a physical inspection. The records from the 2024 and 2025 tests repeatedly identified cracking and perishing on the rear tyres, as well as a cut on the offside rear tyre. Additionally, the 2025 test noted a light misting on the nearside rear shock absorber. While these did not cause a failure, they should be checked for further oil leakage which indicates imminent component failure. The braking system also requires scrutiny. The April 2024 test flagged the front brake discs as pitted or scored at 52,740 miles. Given the subsequent mileage, the buyer should verify the current thickness and surface condition of these discs to ensure they have been replaced. Since no structural corrosion or significant rust was noted throughout the history, the primary concerns remain limited to standard wear and tear of service items and suspension hardware.
