2014 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · FE14 VEP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test on July 24, 2026, 83,525 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows signs of instability as evidenced by a failure just two days prior at 83,523 miles. That failure identified high carbon monoxide levels and incorrect exhaust lambda readings alongside a nearside stop lamp issue. While the car passed immediately upon rectification, the emissions failure suggests potential engine combustion issues or sensor degradation that require close monitoring to prevent recurring failures. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 42,705 miles in 2018 to 83,525 miles in 2026. This low annual mileage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of inactivity, which often leads to perished seals and degraded rubber components. The gaps between tests are regular, indicating the owner has adhered to the annual MOT schedule, though the mechanical condition fluctuates at these mileage-related intervals. A buyer should specifically inspect the exhaust system and related sensor components given the recent 2026 emissions failure. The history reveals a recurring neglect of basic consumables, with multiple entries for tyres worn to the legal limit and deteriorated registration plates across the decade. The 2021 test noted a corroded nearside front driveshaft and a loose heat shield, which warrants a physical check for rubber boot integrity and structural integrity of the exhaust hangers. Ensure the rear stop light assemblies are fully secure, as these have been a persistent point of failure in the past.
