Our Verdict
This is a strong used buy for a 2017 Skoda Citigo with a clean MOT record and low mileage for its age. The only minor note is slight tyre perishing noted in 2024, which has not recurred and is typical of age-related wear.
Given the clean MOT history, focus your negotiation on the condition of consumables such as tyres and brakes rather than major mechanical concerns, as the vehicle has shown no failure or defect patterns. Ask for full service history to confirm the 1.0-litre petrol engine has been maintained on schedule, as no aggregate reliability data is available for the Citigo to benchmark against. As a 2017 petrol model, it benefits from ULEZ compliance and simple mechanicals, so a standard used car inspection and a test drive should be sufficient before purchase.
The 999cc three-cylinder petrol engine in this Citigo is known for excellent fuel economy, typically returning over 60 mpg in mixed driving, keeping weekly fuel costs low for a city car. As a small-capacity petrol registered in 2017, it falls into a low VED band and a modest insurance group, making tax and cover inexpensive. Routine maintenance such as oil changes, filters and tyres is cheap due to the model's shared VW Group parts, with estimated annual running costs in the region of £700-£900 including fuel, tax, insurance and servicing.
The 2024 MOT noted slight cracking or perishing on the near side front and off side rear tyres, so check all four tyres for sidewall condition and tread depth even though the 2026 test recorded no defects. Inspect the 999cc petrol engine for smooth cold starting and listen for any unusual noises, as no model aggregate data exists to confirm common faults for this variant. Verify the bodywork on this silver example for parking scrapes typical of urban use and confirm the mileage of 27,940 is supported by service stamps and previous MOT certificates.
WV17AEG is a silver 999cc petrol Skoda Citigo first registered in March 2017 with a consistent MOT pass history across five tests from 2022 to 2026. The recorded mileage of 27,940 at the March 2026 test is well below typical averages for a nine-year-old city car. The only advisory was minor tyre cracking or perishing on the front near side and rear off side in 2024, with no defects recorded in any other year.
No aggregate MOT data is available for the Skoda Citigo to assess its overall reliability reputation.

AI Analysis
Historical fault & advisory patterns
Common Problems: SKODA CITIGO
Known issues reported by owners and MOT testers.
- ASG automated-manual gearbox judder and neutral drops(Serious)
The optional ASG 'Easy' box on the 1.0 MPI is a single-clutch automated manual, not a torque-converter or DSG. Fault File records owners reporting the car hesitating from a stop, clunking into gear or momentarily dropping into neutral by itself, with clutch and actuator replacements running into four figures; specialist remanufacturer ASR Gearbox Repairs lists the same pattern - gear slippage, delayed engagement, premature clutch wear and control-module faults - as the recurring Citigo automatic complaint. Manual cars are unaffected, which is why clean manuals hold their value.
- Fuel system leaks and filler-cap MOT failures(Moderate)
Citigos fail the MOT fuel test far more often than peers: Fault File's DVSA-derived table shows 'fuel system leaking, or missing or ineffective filler cap' on 1.3 per cent of tests against a class average that rounds to 0.0 per cent, and Get Car Wise measures the same signature at roughly 28 times the national fleet average, tying it to the tank ventilation circuit, carbon canister and caps that no longer seal. A new cap is cheap; a cracked canister or perished vent line is a few hundred pounds and an instant test failure in the meantime. Smell for petrol around the car before you bid.
- Binding brakes and excessive handbrake travel(Moderate)
The small-diameter Citigo brakes corrode rather than wear out. Fault File's MOT table flags 'binding brake' advisories at three times the class average (2.1 per cent against 0.7 per cent) plus corroded brake pipes, and Get Car Wise tracks handbrake adjustment faults at around 9.5 times the fleet average and axle brake imbalance at 5.5 times - typically seized rear shoes, sticking caliper slides or a stretched cable that the rear drum's self-adjuster has failed to wind in. It is cheap to sort if caught early and an MOT fail if ignored.
