2019 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · DX19 FLW

The 2019 Skoda Citigo has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests, including the most recent pass on 27 June 2025—just over a year ago. This suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and has not experienced any recurring mechanical failures or advisory issues that would indicate a pattern of neglect or underlying structural problems. The absence of advisories or failings in the past 12 months is particularly reassuring, as it implies the vehicle has met all current UK roadworthiness standards without compromise. The recorded mileage of 24,344 miles over seven years—approximately 3,478 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, indicating either very light usage or prolonged periods of inactivity. The most notable gap occurs between the 2022 tests, where the vehicle was tested twice on 20 June 2022 at exactly 10,970 miles, suggesting either a double-check or an administrative error rather than actual usage. Beyond that, the mileage progression is steady, with no sudden spikes or drops that would raise concerns about forced mileage accumulation or extended periods of disuse that could accelerate wear. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that are not directly tested in the MOT but still critical to long-term reliability. Focus on the suspension system, particularly the condition of the coil springs, bushes, and dampers, as these are not visually inspected during the MOT but can degrade silently over time. The brakes should be examined for uneven wear, binding calipers, or corrosion on the discs and callipers, even though the MOT did not flag any issues. Additionally, check for signs of corrosion at wheel arches, sills, and the underbody, as prolonged low mileage can exacerbate rust if the vehicle has been stored in damp conditions. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system for leaks or damage, as emissions systems are tested but physical deterioration may not always be apparent in the MOT report.
