2015 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · KS15 PKC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive pattern of repair rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test in October 2025 at 84,462 miles saw the car pass only after addressing multiple failures involving suspension components, braking systems, and tyres. While the vehicle passed this inspection, the recurring nature of failures related to brake travel and suspension wear suggests that mechanical issues are often only rectified once they reach a point of legal failure or significant safety threshold. At 84,462 miles over 11 years, the Citigo averages approximately 7,700 miles per year, which aligns with typical low-use patterns for a city car. The mileage pattern appears consistent, with annual increases of roughly 12,000 to 13,000 miles recorded between 2021 and 2025. However, the low annual mileage has not prevented the vehicle from age-related degradation, as evidenced by the perishing tyres and corrosion on suspension arms noted in late 2025 despite the relatively low distance travelled. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the suspension and braking hardware. The record shows a history of binding rear brakes in 2024 and pitted front discs in 2025, indicating the braking system components are frequently requiring immediate attention. The corrosion noted on the rear suspension arm in 2025, combined with a previous shock absorber leak in 2022, warrants a check for structural integrity and further rust progression. Furthermore, the offside front suspension bushes were flagged as excessively worn in 2025, so these should be verified to ensure they have not caused secondary steering issues or uneven tyre wear.
