2012 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · MF62 AEW

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 4 August 2025 at 79,814 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to October 2022, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and requires no immediate corrective mechanical work. The mileage is low for a 14 year old car, averaging roughly 5,701 miles per year. The accumulation has remained steady over the last few years, increasing by 6,105 miles between October 2022 and October 2023, and 6,905 miles between August 2023 and August 2024. This consistent usage suggests the car has avoided the risks associated with long periods of standing, such as seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. The absence of any advisories regarding suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake disc corrosion across four years of testing is rare for a vehicle of this age. While the record shows a failure and immediate pass on 18 October 2022 at 59,289 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests a minor administrative or quick-fix issue rather than a systemic mechanical failure. A physical inspection should focus on consumables that the MOT does not always flag as critical until they reach a limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the wiper blades. Given the low annual mileage, verify the oil change intervals in the service book to ensure the engine has not suffered from extended drain intervals.
