Our Verdict
This 2016 Skoda Citigo presents a mixed
When inspecting this Skoda Citigo, verify that all mechanical rectification work from the November 2024 test—specifically the front lower suspension arm bushes, oil leak source, and lighting defects—was carried out to a high standard. Request the physical invoices or service records to confirm when the front suspension work and tyre replacements were actually performed.
Negotiate on price if there is no independent proof that the underlying causes of recurring items, such as the rear brake balance noted in February 2024 and tyre degradation, have been permanently resolved. Check that all consumables including wiper blades, bulbs, and tyres have plenty of tread and life left given their repeated appearance in past MOT logs.
As a lightweight 999.0cc petrol city car, this Skoda Citigo sits in a low insurance group and typically offers very competitive fuel economy, making it an affordable option for daily commuting or urban driving. Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax) should be relatively modest given the small engine capacity.
Maintenance and repair costs for the Citigo are generally budget-friendly due to widespread parts availability shared with its Volkswagen Up! and SEAT Mii counterparts. Estimated annual running costs, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance, are expected to be around £900-£1,200 depending on your driving profile and insurance location.
Pay close attention to the front lower suspension arm bushes, which were flagged as excessively worn in November 2024 and noted as worn in February 2024; listen for knocks or clunks over speed bumps during a test drive. Inspect the engine bay thoroughly around the lower blocks to verify that the minor oil leak noted across the 2024 tests has been properly sealed rather than just cleaned off.
Examine all four tyres for even tread wear and sidewall cracking, referencing the recurring tyre advisories and near-misses on the November 2024 MOT failure. Finally, check all exterior electrical functions including position lamps and registration plate lamps, as these failed during the late 2024 test.
First registered in September 2016, this red petrol-powered 999.0cc Skoda Citigo has covered 65,872 miles as of its July 2025 MOT test. The vehicle's MOT record shows a significant failure in November 2024 at 65,752 miles involving worn tyres, suspension arm bushes, a minor oil leak, and electrical faults, which were subsequently rectified to achieve a pass the following day. Prospective buyers should weigh the frequency of previous advisories regarding tyres, braking balance, and suspension wear against the clean outcome of the most recent test.
No aggregate reliability data is available for this specific variant, meaning buyers must rely entirely on the individual vehicle's documented MOT history.
