2016 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · CU16 EOS

The Skoda Citigo presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 16 January 2026 at 31,032 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The January 2026 test followed a failed attempt on 15 January 2026 at identical mileage, though the DVSA record lists no defects for either the failure or the pass, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the test centre rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or defects appear across any entry from 2024 to 2026. The odometer shows 31,032 miles against a 2016 build, equating to roughly 3,100 miles per year. The car gained 3,241 miles between the January 2024 test at 25,275 miles and the January 2025 test at 28,016 miles, then 3,016 miles to the January 2026 pass at 31,032 miles. This is consistent low annual use with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The clean record across four passes and two same-day anomaly entries suggests light use and no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the sparse record. Low mileage with probable long standing periods risks perished rubber components, flat-spotted tyres, and seized brake calipers not caught in a short test. The January 2026 fail with no listed defect warrants confirmation the vehicle was properly prepared and not rejected for undocumented reasons. Check underneath for structural rust on sills and subframes, and verify brake disc condition and handbrake travel. The absence of advisories does not exempt a ten-year-old car from age-related degradation invisible to the MOT lane.
