2015 Skoda Citigo SE 12V 1.0L Petrol · CV15 AAX

The most recent MOT test on 2025-11-12 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded at 73,057 miles. This suggests a stable maintenance trend over the past year, though the October 2024 failure at 67,740 miles—despite no defects being listed—stands out as an anomaly. The lack of advisories or recurring issues in the clean history implies that, where tested, the vehicle has met DVSA standards. However, the failure in late 2024 without explanation raises a question over whether minor issues were overlooked or if the test itself was unusually lenient. The current test date is just six months old, which is acceptable but not ideal for a vehicle of this age, as it could mask emerging wear. The mileage progression shows a consistent average of around 6,600 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this class and age. There is a notable gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests, where the mileage jumped from 61,830 to 67,740—an increase of 5,900 miles in just over a year. This suggests either a period of heavier usage or a lapse in regular servicing. The most recent test at 73,057 miles indicates the vehicle has covered roughly 5,300 miles since the last pass, which, while not excessive, approaches the upper end of typical annual mileage for this model. The absence of any advisories or defects in the most recent test does not necessarily preclude underlying issues, particularly in areas not routinely checked under MOT, such as suspension bush wear or drivetrain fluid condition. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components not always scrutinised in a standard test. Focus on the suspension—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—for excessive play or corrosion, as these are common failure points in this model at this mileage. The brakes, though not flagged in the MOT, should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation. Examine the underbody for corrosion around wheel arches, sills, and the exhaust system, as rust can compromise structural integrity. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust emissions system, as the 2024 failure—despite no recorded defects—could hint at intermittent issues with catalytic converters or oxygen sensors. A thorough check of fluid levels (brake, power steering, and coolant) and their condition would also provide clarity on whether basic maintenance has been consistently performed.
