Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
When viewing this Citigo, you should negotiate based on the recent MOT advisories. The 2025 test highlighted multiple issues including worn brake discs on both sides, suspension arm bushes, and tyres nearing the legal limit. These are items that will likely require immediate investment shortly after purchase.
Ask the seller for evidence of any work carried out to address the 2024 oil leak near the oil filter area and the 2025 suspension and braking advisories. A complete service history remains vital to confirm if the 999cc engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals, especially given the oil leak noted in the 2024 record.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically placing this vehicle in a low insurance group and a favourable tax band, making it economical for urban driving. Fuel economy should be competitive for a city car of this size.
Maintenance costs for a Skoda Citigo are generally manageable, but you should budget for the replacement of tyres, brake discs, and suspension components as indicated by the recent MOT trends. An estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £900-£1,200.
Focus your inspection on the front end of the vehicle. The MOT history specifically mentions nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes being worn in both 2024 and 2025, so listen for knocks or knocks when driving over uneven surfaces. Check the condition of the front brake discs; the 2025 record notes they are pitted or scored.
Additionally, inspect the tyres closely. The 2025 test recorded multiple tyres worn close to the legal limit (2.0mm) or on the edge. Finally, check the area around the oil filter for any signs of the recurring oil leak mentioned in the 2024 MOT to ensure it has been adequately resolved.
This 2017 Red Skoda Citigo, powered by a 999cc petrol engine, has covered 65,395 miles since its first registration in September 2017. The MOT history shows a transition from a clean record in 2022 to increasing advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, and tyre wear in 2024 and 2025. A failure was recorded in late 2023 involving an exhaust shield and a lagging service brake.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Skoda Citigo to provide a comparative benchmark.
