2014 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · YT64 HVL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of Pass, but the MOT history reveals a clear deterioration in mechanical condition. The most recent test on 2021-09-03 at 21,434 miles was a Pass, yet this date was only two years ago, placing the vehicle at approximately 23,000 miles on the current date. This significant gap between the most recent and the first test indicates a lack of proactive maintenance, suggesting that the owner has likely been relying on a standard 12-year-old service interval rather than adhering to a more rigorous schedule. The mileage pattern shows a distinct acceleration in wear that is not typical for a 2014 model. While the vehicle has only 1,786 miles per year, the cumulative mileage from the 2021 test through the 2019 test exceeds 12,000 miles, resulting in a total of 21,434 miles. This rapid accumulation suggests that the owner has been skipping routine service, allowing critical components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs to reach their failure points before a MOT was taken. The data indicates that structural integrity is deteriorating faster than anticipated, moving away from the baseline of a 12-year-old car. Given the recurring faults and the accelerating mileage, a buyer must inspect the vehicle in person for binding rear brakes and corrosion on the exhaust system. The history flags a washer fluid issue and a cracked rear tire, which are both indicative of neglect. A standard 12-year-old vehicle should already have a brake pad replacement scheduled, yet the failure to replace the washer and the cracked tire suggest that the owner has likely not completed this work at all. The roadworthiness is therefore not merely a passing score but a warning sign that the mechanical condition is approaching critical limits without further intervention.
