2016 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · DF65 XNX

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean history across the last three years. The most recent MOT test on 9 May 2025 at 25,529 miles passed with no recorded defects, successfully following a failure just eleven days prior. That failure in April 2025 at 25,521 miles showed no recorded defects, suggesting a potential administrative error or a minor presentation issue that was rectified immediately before the re-test. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,553 miles per year. Between May 2022 and June 2023, the car covered only 1,338 miles, indicating long periods of inactivity or storage. A more significant increase in usage occurred between April 2024 and May 2025, where the vehicle travelled 5,917 miles. This low usage generally reduces mechanical wear and tear on the engine and suspension, though it increases the risks associated with flat-spotting tyres and perished rubber components due to lack of movement. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Check for brake disc corrosion and seized calipers, as the braking system often suffers when a car sits for extended periods. Inspect the tyres and suspension bushes for cracking or dry rot, as rubber degrades over time regardless of the distance driven. Given the clean record of structural advisories, the chassis appears well-preserved, but the fluids and rubber belts should be verified for age-related degradation rather than just mileage.
