2016 Skoda Citigo 1.0L Petrol · PX66 VCW

As a 999cc petrol model, the Citigo is generally positioned in a low insurance group and tax band, making it an economical choice for urban driving. Fuel economy should be relatively high given the small engine displacement.

Maintenance costs for this model are typically low, but you should budget for more frequent tyre replacements given the failure patterns seen in the MOT records. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, fall within a modest range for a city car.

First, examine the tyres thoroughly. The records show a history of structural damage (tears/separation) and uneven wear, so look for any signs of bulging or uneven tread patterns. Second, inspect the braking system; the 2025 MOT highlighted corroded brake pipes that were covered in grease, which can sometimes hide the extent of the decay. Ensure these pipes are clear of debris and show no signs of heavy oxidation.

Finally, check the suspension components. The 2024 MOT recorded an excessively worn rear bush on the offside front lower suspension arm. Listen for knocks or clunks when driving over bumps to ensure this and any other suspension wear has been adequately repaired.
