2017 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · BW17 FSF

A consistent trend of clean roadworthiness has emerged over the last four years, following a period of recorded mechanical issues. While the vehicle experienced failures in 2021 and 2022 relating to exhaust emissions and windscreen wiper effectiveness, the most recent test on 23 June 2026 shows a pass with no defects recorded. This indicates that the previous issues regarding the exhaust lambda reading and the wiper blades have been addressed, resulting in a stable and defect-free inspection history from 2023 through to the present day. The recorded mileage of 62,168 miles over a nine-year period represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 6,908 miles. This usage pattern is considered typical for a vehicle of this age and suggests a consistent level of road use rather than extreme high-mileage wear or prolonged periods of inactivity. Mechanically, this moderate mileage means that while major drivetrain components may not have reached high-wear thresholds, consumable items such as suspension bushes, brake pads, and tyres will have undergone regular cycles of use. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the tyre history, as the 2021 record flagged cracking or perishing across all four tyres. Although the recent tests show no current issues, it is important to inspect the sidewalls and tread depth of the current tyres for any signs of age-related degradation or uneven wear. During a test drive, listen for any rhythmic thumping or irregular road noise which could indicate unevenly worn tyres or issues with wheel bearings, and check for any pulling to one side which might suggest recent alignment or suspension component changes. The previous failure regarding the windscreen wipers and the advisory for the headlight adjuster suggest that external visibility and lighting components have required attention in the past. On a test drive, verify that the windscreen wipers operate smoothly across the entire glass surface without streaking or juddering and that the headlight beam pattern is level and correctly aimed. Ensure there are no vibrations in the steering wheel or knocks from the front end when driving over uneven surfaces, which would help confirm that the suspension and steering assemblies remain in the condition reflected by the recent clean MOT results.
