2012 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · DS12 JFV

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection on 27 March 2026 at 84,988 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just the previous day. This suggests a minor, perhaps administrative or trivial issue that was immediately rectified. The lack of advisories across the last three passing tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components currently meet minimum legal standards without pending attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with low usage for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per year. Between March 2024 and April 2025, the car covered 5,125 miles, while an additional 4,236 miles were recorded between April 2025 and March 2026. This steady, low accumulation suggests regular use which is generally better for the drivetrain and suspension components than long periods of sitting stationary. The intervals between tests are regular, showing the vehicle has been kept within the annual testing cycle consistently. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on rubber-based components that degrade with age regardless of low mileage. While the MOT record is clean, the 2012 age warrants a close check of perished suspension bushes, split boots, and tyre cracks. Inspect the brake discs for signs of corrosion or pitting, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from surface rust between uses. Given the age of the Skoda, checking the underside for structural integrity and weld corrosion is essential to ensure the chassis remains as sound as the clean test history suggests.
