I have a 2015 Skoda Citigo SE 1.0L Petrol with 40,000 miles. The latest full service (at a regular i.e. non-Skoda or VW garage) raised the issue about timing belt replacement and I duly checked the forums, just as I did a couple of years back for our Octavia. I emailed Skoda Europe and Skoda UK the screenshot that I'd seen posted on a VW Up! forum which mentioned "visual inspection only after 240,000 km." Skoda Europe just referred me to Skoda UK, so I didn't get to compare their answers. Here's Skoda UK's Customer Service response from this morning: I'd like to inform you that I've been in contact with our internal Technical Team regarding the timing belt service interval for your 2015 Skoda Citigo SE with the 1.0 L petrol engine. According to their response, the recommended timing belt replacement interval for this specific model is after 15 years, with no specific mileage stipulation. That's reassured me that I can wait another few years until it needs changing.
