2018 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · YC18 OHN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent test in February 2026 at 22,181 miles. While the tester flagged a defect for a slightly distorted nearside rear road wheel, the overall maintenance trend remains stable. The history shows a clean pass in 2024 and 2025, indicating that the car has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation during its recent periods of operation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,773 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between March 2024 and February 2026, where the car covered only 5,229 miles in nearly two years. This low-intensity use typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it also increases the risk of age-related deterioration in rubber-based parts, such as tyres and seals, which can dry or crack when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should specifically inspect the condition of the tyres in person, as the 2023 test identified perishing and cracking on both the nearside front and rear tyres. Despite the low mileage, rubber 2018 ages regardless of distance driven. The distorted nearside rear wheel noted in the 2026 test also requires physical scrutiny to ensure it does not cause vibration or uneven tyre wear at speed. Given the long intervals between use, a check of the brake discs for corrosion or seizing is advisable, as these components often suffer on low-mileage vehicles that are not driven frequently.
