2015 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · BF65 VLU

This 2015 Skoda Citigo passed its last MOT in September 2025, but the advisory list is extensive and concerning. There is a clear, worsening trend regarding the braking system and chassis corrosion. The most significant risk is the widespread corrosion of the brake pipes across both the front and rear of the vehicle. This follows a 2024 failure involving leaking brake fluid and contaminated drums, suggesting a systemic failure of the braking system's integrity rather than isolated wear. The vehicle's low mileage of 63,041 miles over 11 years suggests it has been under-used. In this context, the recurring issues with pitted brake discs, corroded pipes, and perishing tyres are classic signs of a car that has spent long periods standing, allowing moisture to cause corrosion and rubber components to degrade. The condition trend is deteriorating. Issues with suspension bushes and brake discs noted in 2024 remained unresolved or progressed by 2025, and the addition of multiple corroded brake pipes indicates a vehicle that has not been proactively maintained. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the brake pipes for deep corrosion and check for any signs of fluid leaks. You should also inspect the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and verify the state of the front suspension bushes and brake discs.
