2014 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · DA14 YMY

The Skoda Citigo presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 February 2026 at 77,134 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 25 March 2025 at 68,502 miles also passed clean. Two earlier failures on 13 March 2025 at 68,321 miles and 16 March 2024 at 64,218 miles were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle shows no worsening pattern of advisories or structural concerns across the available record. Recorded mileage sits at roughly 6,428 miles per year against a 12-year lifespan, which is typical for the age. The jump from 64,256 miles on 27 March 2024 to 68,502 miles by March 2025 reflects about 4,200 miles of use in that year, then a larger 8,600-mile accumulation to the February 2026 test. No long dormant periods or sudden high-use spikes appear in the data. The MOT history is sparse and clean, with no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions problems ever flagged. A buyer should still commission an independent physical inspection despite the clear record. The absence of advisories does not rule out worn coil springs, binding calipers, or incipient subframe corrosion hidden from the test bay. Given the car's age, examine door sills, suspension arms, and tyre sidewall condition for age-related degradation rather than mileage wear. The repeated zero-defect failures suggest the previous owner used a single garage that initially misprocessed paperwork before the valid retest days later. This implies consistent, if unremarkable, upkeep. No evidence exists of skipped consumable replacement or neglected mechanical risk in the official data.
