2019 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · HT19 TZZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 31 March 2026 at 16,770 miles. The maintenance trend was stable for several years but has recently shifted toward neglect. While the car passed, the tester flagged all four tyres as defective, noting the front pair were worn close to the legal limit on the edges and the rear pair showed signs of cracking and perishing. The mileage is exceptionally low for a seven year old vehicle, averaging roughly 2,396 miles per year. The distance covered between tests has remained consistent, with 2,453 miles added between March 2022 and April 2023, and 2,493 miles between April 2023 and April 2024. This pattern suggests light, regular use rather than long periods of standing. The recent advisories regarding perishing and edge wear on the tyres are typical for low mileage cars where rubber degrades due to age rather than tread wear. The edge wear on the front tyres specifically suggests a potential alignment issue or incorrect tyre pressures. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyre sidewalls and date stamps to ensure they are replaced immediately. Given the low mileage and the sudden appearance of tyre degradation in the March 2026 test, you should also check for any signs of brake disc corrosion or binding calipers, as light use often leads to surface rust and seized components.
