2016 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · FN16 AEF

The Skoda Citigo stands roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 11 February 2026, where it passed at 59,759 miles with no defects recorded. Maintenance trend stays stable across the available record. On that date the tester first logged a failure at identical mileage yet listed no defects, then issued a pass the same day; this anomaly reflects administrative processing rather than mechanical fault. Prior tests on 14 February 2025, 26 February 2024 and 27 February 2023 each returned passes with zero advisories, confirming no worsening condition. Annual mileage sits low for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows 42,917 miles on 27 February 2023, rising to 49,126 on 26 February 2024, then 54,018 on 14 February 2025, and 59,759 on 11 February 2026. That equates to roughly five to six thousand miles per year, with no gap exceeding twelve months between tests. Sparse but clean data points to a lightly used car, likely kept for short local journeys rather than high-speed motorway cycles. Previous owners cleared every statutory test without flagged wear on tyres, brakes or emissions, implying basic upkeep was not skipped. The buyer should still physically examine suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs for degradation induced by low-use standing. The tester never raised corrosion or structural integrity concerns, but sills and subframes demand visual checks for moisture trapped during idle periods. A pre-purchase inspection must confirm no binding calipers have developed from infrequent road use.
