2015 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · YP65 AAJ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-26 at 28,514 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating current roadworthiness. However, a prior failure on the same date at 28,503 miles—also with no defects—raises questions about the testing process or potential oversights. The absence of recorded issues across all tests suggests a stable maintenance trend, though the failure entry without explanation warrants scrutiny. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are documented, implying consistent compliance with safety standards. The vehicle’s mileage of 28,514 miles over 11 years equates to approximately 2,592 miles annually, significantly lower than average usage. This suggests infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate wear on components like batteries, fluids, and rubber seals. The MOT history shows minimal mileage progression between 2023-09-27 (26,743 miles) and 2024-09-26 (26,802 miles), followed by a sharp increase to 28,514 miles by 2025-09-26. Such gaps may indicate the car was stored for extended periods, potentially leading to corrosion or degraded systems requiring inspection. A buyer should prioritise checking the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden fatigue in these components. The braking system, including calipers and discs, should be examined for corrosion or uneven wear, particularly if the vehicle was stored without regular use. Structural integrity, including rust on the chassis or body, is critical given the age, though no corrosion issues are noted in the record. The lack of advisories in MOT reports does not preclude hidden faults, so a professional inspection is recommended to confirm the car’s condition beyond the recorded data.
