2017 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · FJ15 LKD

The 2017 Skoda Citigo presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 11 November 2024 at 95,905 miles. The absence of any recorded defects across the last five MOT tests indicates a vehicle that has remained fundamentally sound mechanically. A minor anomaly appears in the record on 7 November 2024, where the car failed at 95,891 miles despite no defects being listed. This typically points to an aborted test or a procedural refusal rather than a mechanical failure, yet the subsequent clean pass just four days later confirms the issue was resolved or never materialized into a fault. The mileage accumulation aligns closely with typical usage for a city car of this age, averaging roughly 10,656 miles annually. Between 1 September 2021 and 26 August 2022, the car covered 10,589 miles, increasing to 12,819 miles by 29 August 2023, before dropping slightly to 9,580 miles by the November 2024 test. This pattern suggests consistent, mixed-use driving rather than prolonged standing or excessively high motorway mileage. The steady accumulation implies regular use, which generally benefits mechanical components by preventing the deterioration associated with long-term storage. Despite the pristine MOT record, a physical inspection remains essential for a vehicle approaching six figures. The lack of advisories suggests previous owners addressed wear items proactively, but a buyer should scrutinize the condition of consumables approaching the end of their service life. Check the brake discs and pads for scoring or uneven wear, and inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for deterioration typical of a 95,000-mile urban runabout. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the underbody and sills, as these components often degrade without triggering an MOT failure until severe.
