2015 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · CE15 KCK

The 2015 Škoda Citigo has demonstrated a stable roadworthiness trend over the past three MOT cycles, with no defects recorded in any of the five tests conducted since March 2023. The most recent test on 24 February 2026—just five months ago—confirmed the vehicle passed without fail, despite a curious anomaly where it was tested twice on the same day at nearly identical mileages (108,075 and 108,078). This suggests no recent mechanical issues requiring immediate attention, though the duplicate test warrants questioning whether the vehicle was moved between stations or if there was a procedural oversight. The absence of advisories or recurring faults in the record implies consistent compliance with basic MOT standards, though this does not preclude hidden wear beyond visual inspection. Mileage progression indicates typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging around 9,800 miles annually. The most notable gap occurs between the March 2023 (75,666 miles) and March 2024 (87,012 miles) tests, where the vehicle accumulated 11,346 miles in under a year—a relatively high rate that could imply heavier usage or longer periods of active driving. Conversely, the intervals between 2024 and 2025 (9,458 miles) and 2025 and 2026 (9,608 miles) align more closely with the average, suggesting a return to moderate usage. There are no extended periods of inactivity or unusually low mileage to raise concerns about neglect, though the rapid accumulation in 2023–2024 may have accelerated wear on high-stress components like brakes, suspension bushes, or drivetrain fluids. Given the clean MOT history, a prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, as these are common failure points in this model at this mileage. The duplicate test in February 2026—while unusual—does not provide diagnostic insight, but the lack of advisories on brakes or emissions suggests no immediate binding calipers, excessive corrosion, or catalytic converter issues. That said, the high mileage accumulation between 2023 and 2024 may have stressed the brake discs and pads disproportionately; visual inspection of disc thickness and pad material should be undertaken, alongside checking for uneven wear or glazing. Corrosion is another critical area—focus on the wheel arches, sills, and underbody near the exhaust system, as these are prone to rust progression over eleven years. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or excessive rust through, as this is often overlooked in clean MOT records but can lead to catalytic converter damage or emissions failures.
