2014 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · AF64 EBX

The Skoda Citigo presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 15 September 2025 at 77,914 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The vehicle carries no defects or advisories on any test, and the latest pass confirms structural integrity, emissions, brakes, and suspension met standards at that date. This clean sheet suggests consistent statutory compliance, though the same-day fail on 15 September 2025 with no defects logged points to an administrative or presentation error rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages 6,493 across the 12-year life, which is typical for a 2014 supermini. The odometer moved from 59,798 miles at the September 2023 pass to 67,666 miles at the 11 September 2024 fail, then 67,729 miles at the 16 September 2024 pass, and 77,914 miles by September 2025. The jump of over 10,000 miles in the final year is the largest recorded increment, yet remains modest. The sparse record shows only three passes and two same-week fails, all with zero defects noted, so the data gives little insight into consumable wear cycles. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake discs despite the clean MOT trail, as the tester recorded no advisories that would flag incipient wear. The September 2024 fail with no defects suggests the car may have been presented without a required document or minor item, implying the prior owner cut procedural corners rather than neglected mechanics. Verify the bodywork for corrosion and check tyre tread depth independently, since the DVSA entries offer no early warning on these consumables. Given the low yearly use and absent advisories, previous keepers likely stored the car indoors and covered basics, but the twin 2024 and 2025 same-day fail-then-pass pairs reveal a pattern of rushed test bookings. Inspect the exhaust for internal rot and confirm the 2025 pass reflects a genuine road test, not a clerical correction. The Citigo stands as a sound used buy on paper, contingent on a hands-on check of unseen wear points.
