2014 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · LC14 KXU

The 2025‑11‑03 MOT at 27,686 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend since the 2017 failure. The vehicle, a 2014 model, has accumulated 27,686 miles over roughly eight years since the 2017 test, averaging about 3,460 miles per year, which is higher than the 2,307 miles per year suggested by the overall age but still modest for a twelve‑year‑old car; the incremental rise from 8,725 miles in 2017 to 27,686 miles in 2025 shows consistent use without prolonged standing periods, and the regular annual testing suggests attentive ownership. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear suspension, paying close attention to the near‑side rear shock absorber that exhibited a light oil mist in 2017 and any subsequent wear on bushes, coil springs and shock mounts; verify the condition of the rear brakes, which were noted as imbalanced in 2017, and examine the near‑side daytime running lamp that failed in 2024, as well as the exhaust system, structural integrity, and tyre wear, since these components have been flagged repeatedly and may reveal underlying neglect despite the clean recent MOT.
