2014 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · SN64 NFC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean MOT pass in October 2025 at 67,794 miles. The maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs rather than proactive prevention. While the car passed its most recent test, it failed earlier that same day due to worn front suspension arm bushes and an inoperative rear registration plate lamp. The fact that these mechanical faults were addressed immediately to secure a pass indicates the current owner is willing to rectify safety defects once flagged by the tester. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 67,794 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,650 miles per year. This usage pattern often suggests short urban trips or long periods of inactivity, which can adversely affect rubber components. There is a visible two-year gap between the June 2022 and October 2024 tests, during which the vehicle covered only 4,597 miles. This low mileage correlates with the recurring issues of tyre perishing noted in both the 2022 and 2024 records. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the 2025 failure highlighted significant wear in bushes on both the nearside and offside arms. Even with recent repairs, the age of the vehicle makes potential play in steering joints or further degradation of rubber likely. Given the history of sidewall cracking and perishing, the age of the tyres must be checked against the depth of the tread, as low mileage often masks dry rot in the rubber compound. An inspection of the chassis for corrosion is also advised, as low-use vehicles can remain exposed to environmental moisture over a decade.
