2013 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · NJ63 YDT

The 2013 Skoda Citigo presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 12 September 2025 at 66,346 miles with zero defects. The 2023 test was the last to flag any concerns, recording slight corrosion on both front brake hose ferrules and worn, pitted, or scored front brake discs. Both issues appear to have been rectified before the 2024 and 2025 tests, suggesting the previous owner addressed the braking system rather than ignoring the advisories. No structural corrosion, suspension defects, or emissions failures have ever appeared on the record. The mileage profile is notably low for a 13-year-old city car. The vehicle has covered roughly 17,923 miles over the five-year span from October 2021 at 48,423 miles to September 2025 at 66,346 miles, averaging approximately 3,585 miles per year in that period. Annual increments between tests have been consistent, ranging from 3,979 to 4,733 miles, with no sudden jumps or suspiciously large gaps. The odometer progression appears genuine and well-documented, supporting the impression of light urban use rather than long periods of inactivity. Prospective buyers should still inspect the front braking components in person. The 2023 advisories on corroded hose ferrules and scored discs indicate the system endured a period of neglect or harsh conditions before being replaced or refurbished. Examine the current brake discs for lipping and scoring, check the flexible hoses for cracking or weeping, and verify that the calipers slide freely without binding. Given the low annual mileage, also inspect the tyres for date-code age rather than tread depth, as rubber perishes regardless of use. Underneath, check the subframe, sills, and suspension mounting points for surface corrosion, particularly around the front lower arms and rear beam bushes. A short test drive over rough surfaces will reveal any deteriorated suspension bushes or dampers that the MOT has not yet caught.
