2015 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · MW15 BKA

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening condition regarding front suspension components. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 72,015 miles passed, the tester identified play in the offside front lower suspension arm ball joint and an offside front tyre worn to the legal limit. This represents a progression from the 2023 test, where both front suspension arm bushes were flagged for wear but had not yet reached excessive movement. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation, with roughly 4,000 to 7,000 miles driven between annual tests. For instance, the car covered 4,314 miles between November 2024 and November 2025. This relatively low annual usage suggests the vehicle was likely used for short-distance trips, which can sometimes lead to the premature degradation of rubber components and seals despite the low mechanical mileage. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to assess the extent of the wear already noted. The recurring reports of worn bushes and ball joints indicate that the front assembly is nearing the end of its service life. Specific attention should be paid to the offside front corner, as the uneven wear on the tyre suggests an alignment issue. Additionally, the offside front tyre requires immediate replacement, and a check of the remaining tyres is necessary to ensure the wear pattern is not consistent across the axle.
