2013 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · BD13 DRV

The vehicle remains roadworthy as evidenced by the MOT pass on July 23, 2026 at 74,720 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a worsening trajectory regarding structural integrity and component wear. While the car passed in 2025 without defects, the most recent test identified rusted rear suspension components on the subframe. This represents a progression from the corrosion issues first noted in 2024 and 2023, indicating that the oxidation on the underbody is active and has not been treated or rectified. The mileage profile is consistently low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,750 miles per year. There is a steady pattern of use, for example, moving from 54,373 miles in 2022 to 74,720 miles in 2026. This low annual mileage suggests the car has not undergone heavy stress, but it often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components and surface-level corrosion, which is supported by the perishing tyres recorded during the August 2023 test. A buyer must prioritize a thorough physical inspection of the underbody to assess the extent of the subframe rust. The tester flagged rear suspension corrosion in three separate testing cycles (2023, 2024, and 2026), which suggests a structural risk if left untreated. Additionally, the record shows a history of pitted and scored brake discs across multiple axles between 2023 and 2024. You should verify the current condition of the brake rotors and pads to ensure they have been replaced, as the history indicates a recurring pattern of surface oxidation and wear on the braking system.
