2012 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · SE12 KCN

This Škoda Citigo has maintained a consistently clean MOT history with no defects recorded across all five tests, including the most recent inspection on 4 November 2025 at 64,093 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, if not meticulous, maintenance over its lifetime. The most recent test, just six months ago, aligns with the standard 12-month MOT cycle, indicating no prolonged periods without oversight. While this pattern is reassuring, the lack of advisories does not preclude underlying issues—particularly in areas like suspension bushes, coil springs, or brake caliper binding, which often develop without immediate MOT failings but can degrade over time. The recorded mileage of 64,093 miles over 14 years—approximately 4,578 miles annually—falls well below the average for a vehicle of this age, suggesting either light usage or extended periods of inactivity. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the January 2023 (48,810 miles) and November 2023 (52,091 miles) tests, a gain of just 3,281 miles in under a year, which could imply seasonal driving patterns or a temporary increase in usage. The intervals between tests remain consistent at around 12 months, with no gaps longer than six months, reinforcing the impression of steady, if not aggressive, maintenance discipline. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that often fail silently. The suspension—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—should be checked for excessive play or corrosion, as these can compromise handling and structural integrity over time. Brake discs and calipers warrant close examination for uneven wear, binding, or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has spent periods stationary. Additionally, the underbody should be scrutinised for signs of rust, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, as this model is prone to corrosion in wet conditions. While the MOT history is unblemished, these areas are critical to assessing long-term reliability beyond the test’s scope.
