2013 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · WF13 BYC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 11 November 2025 returning a pass at 56,341 miles and no advisories or defects recorded. Prior to that, the car passed cleanly in July 2024 following an advisory-free fail on the same date, and further back it passed without comment in July 2023 and June 2022. Across five recorded entries spanning just over three years, only one failure appears, and no advisories have been logged at any point. From a testing-record perspective alone, the trend is stable rather than deteriorating, though the absence of advisories means there is little diagnostic signal to interpret either way. Mileage accumulation is modest for the vehicle's age. The car is roughly thirteen years old yet has covered approximately 56,341 miles, equating to around 4,300 miles annually, which is low. Annual figures cannot be calculated precisely from the data supplied because odometer readings at each test are not shown, but the gap between the November 2025 test and the July 2024 tests represents a twelve-month interval, and the five tests span from June 2022 to November 2025. Low annual use often correlates with longer standing periods, which can dry out suspension bushes and brake hydraulic seals, encourage corrosion in hidden cavities, and leave tyres prone to sidewall cracking or flat-spotting. These are factors the MOT visual inspection does not necessarily capture. On the physical inspection, a buyer should pay close attention to the components the test record cannot fully verify. With a 2013 SKODA CITIGO, focus on the front subframe, rear axle beam, and suspension mounting points for any signs of structural corrosion, particularly around wheel arches and jacking points. Check for binding calipers and uneven brake disc wear by feeling for hot wheels after driving, and inspect the coil springs for any sign of fracture. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion at joints and the mounting rubber, and verify the condition of the tyres closely, as low-mileage cars often have original or aged rubber that has hardened despite legal tread depth. Finally, confirm that all warning lamps illuminate correctly and that the handbrake holds firmly on an incline, as electronic handbrake mechanisms on this model can develop issues not always flagged during routine testing.
