2012 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · CA62 CLU

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, showing an improving trend in maintenance consistency. The most recent inspection on 25 June 2025 at 108,798 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the previous owner successfully addressed prior issues. This clean result marks a positive shift from the failures seen in previous years, suggesting the vehicle is currently being maintained to a passing standard without immediate mechanical or structural defects. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a typical used city car of this age, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per annum. There is a notable surge in usage between May 2023 and May 2024, where the car covered 18,675 miles in just twelve months. Since that period, the usage has slowed significantly, with only 962 miles recorded over the final year of testing. This high-mileage interval may have accelerated the wear on drivetrain components and suspension, though the recent clean MOT suggests the vehicle has handled the load without major mechanical failure. While the recent record shows no defects, the failures in 2023 and 2024 indicate that the vehicle is prone to specific issues that require proactive attention. A buyer should physically inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs, as these are common points of failure on this model as they age. Given the history of failures, a thorough check of the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding is necessary to ensure corrosion is not creeping in between tests. The structural integrity of the chassis sills should also be verified to ensure that the higher mileage year has not led to significant hidden rust.
