2015 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · FE65 OPM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a concerning trend of deferred mechanical repairs. While the most recent MOT test in July 2025 at 56,639 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just five miles prior for multiple critical issues. The presence of recurring advisories regarding the suspension and brakes across the last three years of testing suggests that the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. At approximately 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 56,639 miles is significantly low, averaging only 5,150 miles per year. This low usage often correlates with the degradation of rubber-based components due to age and exposure rather than mechanical wear. Between the July 2024 test at 49,667 miles and the July 2025 test at 56,639 miles, the car covered roughly 7,000 miles, which represents a slight increase in the historical annual average. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the offside front lower suspension arm bushes have been flagged as worn in both 2023 and 2025. The persistent issue with fluctuating front service brakes noted in 2025 indicates likely warped brake discs or sticking calipers that require attention to ensure consistent stopping performance. Additionally, the corrosion found on the offside front brake pipe in 2022 should be re-examined to ensure it has not progressed into structural failure, as the low mileage can mask deep oxidation on stationary lines.
