23.6% of Skoda Citigos that failed an MOT failed the next one too, against 16.5% after a pass (2019–2024, n = 14,159). The failure most likely to come back is ‘lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment’: 30.2% of those fails recurred at the next MOT.

What does a Skoda Citigo cost to run in a fleet?

Of every 100 Skoda Citigos tested at age 5, about 10 failed the MOT first time; at age 10, about 22. These are one-year rates for different cars tested in the same year, not a fleet followed over time; the steepest one-year step in this cross-section is between cars aged 7 and 8, 6.19 percentage points (2024).

Skoda Citigo MOT: quick answers

What is the Skoda Citigo first-time MOT pass rate?

79.4% of first attempts passed in 2024 (52,407 tests). Retests after repair are excluded; cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) are shown separately.

Why does this number differ from other sites?

Other sites may count retests or all attempts. This page uses 52,407 primary tests: 20.58% failed first time and 85.0% passed when cars fixed at the test centre (PRS) count as passes. The age-adjusted MOT Risk Index 80.8 is shown separately.
