Buying a used Skoda Citigo for London: what the MOT data shows
The Skoda Citigos in this data were first registered between 2012 and 2020. 2014 was the most common year, with 9,161 tests (17% of the total), and half were registered in 2015 or later.
Almost every Citigo in the data is from a year likely to comply, so age and condition matter more than ULEZ when choosing one. The newest (2020) passed first time 90% of the time at 15,140 miles on average, and the oldest (2012) passed 78% at 60,999 miles.
Whichever year you choose, check the Citigo's weak spots. The most common MOT failures were visibility: "does not clear the windscreen effectively" (2.5% of tests); lights and electrics: "not working" (2.2%); brakes: "excessively binding" (1.6%). The most frequent advisory was "has a tear, caused by separation or partial failure of its structure", on 13.6% of tests.
Overall, 81% of Citigos passed first time, well above the 71% average for all cars, and they had covered 43,052 miles on average, fewer than the 73,145-mile average.
