2013 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · CV63 OSE

The Skoda Citigo presents a stable roadworthiness record over its recent MOT history, with no major defects or advisories recorded in the most up-to-date test from September 2025 at 144,472 miles. The only notable entry in the past three years was the September 2024 test, where both front brake discs were flagged as worn but not excessively—an issue that did not recur in subsequent tests. This suggests the discs were likely replaced or sufficiently refurbished shortly after the 2024 inspection, as no further brake-related concerns have been logged. The absence of structural advisories, corrosion warnings, or repeated mechanical failures indicates the vehicle has been maintained at a functional level, though the brevity of the records leaves some components untested between inspections. The mileage accumulation of roughly 11,113 miles per year aligns closely with the average for a vehicle of this age, reflecting neither excessive use nor prolonged neglect. The recorded mileages—rising incrementally from 75,703 miles in September 2021 to 144,472 miles in September 2025—show consistent annual progress without sudden spikes or prolonged stasis. This pattern implies the Citigo has been in regular, moderate service, though the lack of intermediate MOTs between 2023 and 2025 means some wear states (such as suspension bush degradation or exhaust system integrity) may have progressed unchecked. The most recent test’s clean pass suggests the vehicle was presented in a well-maintained condition, but the gap since September 2025 (nearly 10 months) means a pre-purchase inspection should verify no deferred maintenance has developed. A prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough examination of the front brake system, despite the 2024 discs passing subsequent tests, as worn linings or caliper binding could re-emerge without recent servicing. The suspension—particularly the front coil springs, strut mounts, and anti-roll bars—should be checked for excessive wear or corrosion, given the vehicle’s age and the absence of recent advisories on these components. Structural integrity, especially around wheel arches and sills, warrants inspection for early corrosion, while the exhaust system’s clamps and hangers should be verified for security. Finally, the tyre condition and tread depth, though not recorded in the MOT history, should be physically assessed, as the 2024 test’s focus on brake discs may have masked other consumable wear.
