2017 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · DXI 8318

The Skoda Citigo presents a solid mechanical picture as of its most recent MOT on 9 April 2026 at 25,289 miles, where it passed cleanly with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable and, by the evidence, improving. A nail puncture in the offside rear tyre was the sole defect noted in the 2024 test at 24,169 miles, and the 2025 and 2026 passes show no recurring faults whatsoever. This is a vehicle that has been consistently roadworthy across every inspection in the provided record. The mileage profile tells a clear story. Between the March 2023 test at 16,102 miles and the April 2024 test at 24,169 miles, the car covered 8,067 miles in roughly thirteen months, a notable spike compared to the gentle accumulation seen before and after. Prior to that window, the car sat at 8,794 miles in March 2022 and reached 16,102 miles by March 2023, averaging around 7,300 miles across that year. From April 2024 to April 2026, mileage crept up only 1,120 miles over two full years, indicating the car has been used very sparingly or possibly stood for extended periods. Annualised across its nine-year life, the 2,810 miles per year figure is well below the UK average of roughly 7,000 to 8,000 miles annually. That prolonged low use warrants a practical inspection despite the clean MOT record. Tyres on a car this age and mileage can suffer sidewall cracking and perishing from age alone, even with ample tread remaining. The 2024 nail puncture repair should be checked to confirm it was a proper plug-patch job rather than a temporary fix. Brake discs and pads may show surface corrosion from standing, and suspension bushes can deteriorate with age regardless of mileage. A buyer should inspect the underside for any signs of structural corrosion, particularly around subframes and mounting points, and verify that all lights and the headlight adjuster mechanism function correctly given the 2023 recheck note.
