2015 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · MF65 FPL

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status following a clean pass in the September 2025 test at 62,402 miles. This represents an improving maintenance trend after a period of significant mechanical failures in 2023 and 2024. While the car previously struggled with braking efficiency and emissions, the lack of defects in the most recent inspection suggests that the owner has addressed the flagged faults to bring the vehicle back to a standard. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 62,402 miles is low, averaging approximately 5,673 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, but the MOT record shows evidence of age-related degradation. Specifically, the recurring reports of cracking and perishing tyres at 51,535 miles in 2023 and 57,111 miles in 2024 indicate the vehicle likely sat for long periods, leading to rubber dry rot rather than tread wear. A buyer should focus specifically on the braking system, as the history shows a clear pattern of thin front pads, pitted discs, and a binding offside rear service brake noted in September 2024. Although the 2025 test passed without defects, a physical inspection must confirm the rear caliper is not seizing again and that the discs have been adequately replaced. The 2023 failure regarding high carbon monoxide and lambda readings also suggests past issues with fuel mixture or oxygen sensors, which should be monitored for rough idling or excessive smoke to ensure the catalytic converter remains functional.
