2012 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · A5 XAC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 5 August 2025 at 64,064 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum legal safety standards. This follows a clean result from August 2024, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have remained sound without immediate failures over the last two testing cycles. At 14 years old, the recorded mileage of 64,064 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 4,576 miles per year. The data shows a steady pattern of use, though there was a notable increase in activity between September 2022 (43,240 miles) and August 2024 (58,826 miles), where the vehicle covered double its typical annual distance. The low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation due to stationary time rather than mechanical friction. A physical inspection should focus on the rubber-based components that have shown issues in the past. The 2022 test at 43,240 miles flagged perished rear tyres, and the 2023 test at 47,158 miles noted front tyres reaching the legal limit with uneven wear. A buyer must check the current tyres for cracking in the sidewalls and ensure the alignment is not causing premature. Given the age of the vehicle, the inspector should also examine suspension bushes and brake lines for signs of corrosion, as these parts can degrade over time regardless of low mileage.
