2017 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · BL67 AEZ

The 2017 Skoda Citigo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 12 May 2025 at 23,232 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five-year span from the 28 April 2022 test at 16,231 miles through to 2025, every examination either passed or, in one instance, failed on administrative grounds without any mechanical defect noted. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring advisories, or structural concerns across its recorded history. The odometer reflects exceptionally low use for a nine-year-old car, totalling just 23,232 miles or roughly 2,581 miles per year. The record charts gentle annual accumulation: 16,231 miles in April 2022, 18,546 by April 2023, 20,805 at the April 2024 tests, and 23,232 by May 2025. No rapid mileage jumps or unexplained gaps appear. The clean sheet across all entries suggests either careful single-owner stewardship or simply minimal mechanical stress from light urban running, though long stationary periods inherent to low use can conceal perished rubber components not caught in a pass result. One anomaly warrants scrutiny: the 29 April 2024 entry shows both a fail and a pass at identical mileage of 20,805 with no defects listed. This points to a documentation or presentation error at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault, but a buyer should confirm with the DVLA that the vehicle's status was never left impaired. The absence of any advisories on tyres, brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion means the tester found nothing requiring monitor-and-repair attention at each interval. Given the sparse but clean record, a pre-purchase inspection should still verify items low-mileage cars hide. Check brake calipers for binding after standing, inspect coil springs and suspension arms for cracking from inactivity, and confirm exhaust emissions remain within limits given infrequent warm-up cycles. The structural integrity shows no flagged rust, yet underside corrosion can develop unseen on a car used sparingly in winter conditions.
