2012 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · CV62 OER

This 2012 Skoda Citigo has covered 103,927 miles, which aligns with typical usage for its age. While the annual mileage is consistent, the recent MOT history suggests the vehicle is entering a phase where age-related degradation is becoming more frequent. The mechanical trend appears to be slightly worsening. While the car passed its most recent MOT in February 2026, the list of advisories is growing. You should be particularly concerned by the recurring note regarding the rear sub-frame, which has been flagged for corrosion for two consecutive years. Although currently deemed not seriously weakened, this is a structural component that requires close monitoring to ensure it does not deteriorate further. The history shows a pattern of consumable and suspension wear, including issues with tyres, wheel bearings, and suspension bushes. The oil leak noted at the most recent test, while not excessive, indicates that the engine seals and gaskets are beginning to show their age. The combination of these factors suggests that while the car remains roadworthy, it will likely require a higher maintenance budget to address these mounting minor defects. When inspecting this vehicle in person, your first priority should be a thorough check of the rear sub-frame for signs of structural rot or flaking metal.
