2014 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · AO14 XAW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT on 15 June 2026 at 39,791 miles. The maintenance trend appears reactive rather than proactive, as the car failed a test just two days and twelve miles prior due to an ineffective fuel cap seal and a cut on the offside rear tyre. These issues were rectified immediately for the re-test, indicating that the owner is responsive to MOT failures but may overlook routine pre-emptive mechanical checks. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,316 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-interval usage patterns, with only 3,000 miles covered between the June 2025 test at 36,701 miles and the June 2026 test at 39,791 miles. While low mileage often results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of age-related failure in rubber components which degrade over time regardless of distance. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the tyres, as the record shows a recurring history of perishing and damage. The 2024 and 2025 tests both flagged cracking and perishing on rear tyres, while the 2023 test noted front tyres worn to the legal limit. This suggests the vehicle may sit stationary for long periods, leading to dry rot and uneven wear. The buyer should also verify the fuel system integrity and check for aged rubber bushings, as the low-usage profile can lead to seized brake calipers or perished suspension components that have not yet triggered an MOT advisory.
