2014 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · FH64 LNF

The 2014 Skoda Citigo presents a stable and highly reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 8 December 2025 at 32,466 miles. The most recent test recorded zero defects, indicating the vehicle currently meets all required safety and environmental standards. A same-day retest occurred on that date following an initial failure at 32,464 miles, though the absence of recorded defects on both entries suggests an immediate rectification of a minor issue or an administrative abort rather than a persistent mechanical fault. The maintenance trajectory is firmly stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural failures documented across the recorded history. The mileage profile indicates exceptionally light use for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,706 miles annually. Between 12 December 2022 at 28,282 miles and 2 December 2024 at 30,959 miles, the car covered just 2,677 miles over nearly two years. Mileage accumulation then slowed further, with only 1,507 miles added between 2 December 2024 and the most recent test on 8 December 2025. Such low annual distances often point to short, stop-start journeys, which can prevent engines and exhaust systems from reaching optimal operating temperatures, potentially causing moisture buildup and premature corrosion despite the low mileage. Given the absence of flagged advisories or recurring defects in the MOT record, the primary concern shifts from acute mechanical failure to the long-term effects of prolonged standing and short-distance driving. A buyer should closely inspect the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from perishing rubber rather than tread wear. Examine the brake discs and calipers for surface rust and binding, a common issue when a car sits unused for extended periods. Check the exhaust system for corrosion, particularly around the welds and silencer seams, and assess the suspension bushes for deterioration that can occur simply with age rather than mileage.
