2014 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · DA64 NFJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT in February 2026. The maintenance trend shows a reactive pattern of care, where the owner addresses specific failures only after they occur. The most recent failure involved a low-beam offside headlamp aim, a minor adjustment issue that was rectified immediately. This suggests that while the car is functional, it is maintained to the minimum legal standard rather than through preventative scheduling. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 58,647 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,900 miles. This low-intensity usage typically places less strain on the drivetrain and engine, but it can lead to the degradation of rubber components and brake assemblies due to inactivity. Between December 2023 and February 2025, the vehicle covered over 10,000 miles, indicating a period of higher use during that fourteen-month window compared to its overall long-term average. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension geometry based on recurring issues. The February 2025 test flagged the offside rear service brake as binding, which often indicates a sticking caliper piston or perished slider pin. Furthermore, the 2023 report of thin front brake pads and pitted discs, combined with the 2025 failure for uneven tyre wear, suggests potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. An in-person inspection of the front wisharm bushings is necessary to ensure the uneven tyre wear was not caused by a structural mechanical failure.
