Skoda electric cars used: Enyaq and Citigo e iV guide
Skoda electric cars on the used market: Enyaq and Citigo e iV battery health, software updates, charging and resale values for dealers.
· 7 min read
Skoda electric cars on the used market are mainly the Enyaq SUV and coupé, built since 2020, plus the small Citigo e iV from 2019–2021 and, more recently, the Elroq. The Enyaq is a sound used buy: check the battery's state of health, the software version and the charging hardware, then price it against both other EVs and a petrol Kodiaq of the same age.
Which Skoda electric cars are on the used market
Skoda's used EV supply is dominated by the Enyaq, with smaller volumes of the Citigo e iV and the younger Elroq. Each sits in a different price bracket and attracts a different buyer.
| Model | Years | Battery (gross / usable) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Citigo e iV | 2019–2021 | 36.8 / 32.3 kWh | City car, up to 260 km WLTP, AC and DC charging |
| Enyaq 50 | 2021 | 55 / 52 kWh | Rare entry version |
| Enyaq 60 | 2021– | 62 / 58 kWh | Common fleet version |
| Enyaq 80 / 85 | 2021– | 82 / 77 kWh | Most sought-after; 85 has a newer, more efficient motor from 2023 |
| Enyaq Coupé | 2022– | 62 or 82 kWh | Including the sporty RS |
| Elroq | 2024– | Several sizes | Compact SUV below the Enyaq |
The Citigo e iV's figures come from Skoda, which built it in Bratislava; the car was in production only for a short time, so supply is small. The Enyaq shares its MEB platform, motors and batteries with the VW ID.4 and Audi Q4 e-tron. If you trade those too, our guide to used VW electric cars covers the same technology.
How reliable is a used Skoda Enyaq?
The Enyaq is mechanically reliable: the electric motor, reduction gear and battery have shown few systematic failures. Most complaints from owners concern software, infotainment and electrical niggles rather than the drivetrain.
Typical issues on used Enyaqs:
- Software faults on early cars: slow or freezing infotainment, connectivity and charging-planner problems, mostly cured by updates.
- 12-volt battery: a weak 12 V battery can cause warning messages or a car that will not wake up, even though the traction battery is fine.
- Charging problems: faulty charging cables, flap or socket issues and, rarely, onboard charger faults.
- Wear items: tyres wear quickly on heavy, powerful EVs, especially on the RS and 4x4 versions; brakes can corrode from little use.
For car dealers
Know your margin before you buy
MyCarDealer compares any car from an auction or listing with the market in your country and shows the net margin after VAT, transport and costs – and the maximum bid.
Request accessWhat software updates matter on the Enyaq?
The software version is one of the most important checks on a used Enyaq, because it affects range, charging speed and how the car feels to a buyer. Ask for the current version and when the last update was installed.
The key milestone was the ME3 software. According to Skoda, ME3 was installed in new cars from early 2022 and offered free to existing cars at dealers in the second half of 2022. It increased the maximum DC charging power to up to 120 kW for the 62 kWh battery and 135 kW for the 82 kWh battery, improved battery management and infotainment and added a "battery care" mode that limits charging to 80%. Later updates continued to refine the system, increasingly over the air.
A 2021 car still on its original software is a cheaper product than the same car with the latest version. Either have it updated before retail or price in the workshop visit.
What should I check on a used Skoda EV?
A used Skoda EV needs the same basic inspection as any car plus four EV-specific checks. Do them on every car, whether you buy at auction, from a lease return or as a trade-in.
- Battery state of health (SoH): get a diagnostic read-out or an independent battery certificate. Compare it with cars of the same age; our EV battery health check guide explains acceptable values.
- Battery warranty: Skoda's high-voltage battery warranty is commonly 8 years or 160,000 km with a guaranteed minimum of 70% capacity. Check the remaining period from first registration.
- Charging test: charge on AC with the supplied cable and briefly on a DC fast charger, and confirm the power reached is plausible.
- Software and 12 V system: read fault memories across all control units, and test the 12 V battery.
- Equipment that drives price: heat pump, larger battery, tow bar and 4x4 make a noticeable difference in winter markets and for towing buyers.
| Check | Good sign | Warning sign |
|---|---|---|
| SoH | In line with or above cars of the same age | Clearly below, or uneven cells |
| Software | Current version | Original 2021 software |
| DC charging | Reaches expected power at low state of charge | Very slow, interrupts |
| 12 V battery | Tested good | Warnings when waking the car |
| Heat pump | Fitted | Missing on cars sold in cold markets |
How quickly do Enyaqs depreciate?
Enyaqs depreciated quickly in their first years, like most EVs, but prices have become more stable as new-car discounts settled. The biggest drops affected early 2021 cars with high mileage and the smaller battery.
According to listings tracked by MyCarDealer in eleven European countries in October 2026:
| Model and years | Listings | Median price | Median mileage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enyaq 2021 | 443 | €23,980 | 120,000 km |
| Enyaq 2022–2023 | 858 | €31,019 | 69,000 km |
| Kodiaq petrol 2021–2022 | 502 | €26,073 | 103,000 km |
| Citigo e iV 2019–2021 | 54 | €13,350 | 50,000 km |
A 2021 Enyaq was therefore asking about €2,100 less than a petrol Kodiaq of similar age, even though it cost more when new. That is the depreciation gap that makes young used EVs attractive to buyers and risky for dealers who overpay. Most Citigo e iV listings were in the Netherlands, so treat that price as a Dutch benchmark.
How to price a used Enyaq against a petrol Kodiaq
Price the Enyaq against other Enyaqs first and against a Kodiaq second. The first comparison tells you what EV buyers pay; the second tells you how many petrol buyers you could win over.
- Battery size matters most. An 80 or 85 sells for clearly more than a 60 of the same age.
- Mileage hurts less than on a diesel, as long as the SoH is good; buyers look at the battery report first.
- Local demand varies. In markets with strong EV incentives or company-car tax advantages the Enyaq sells quickly; elsewhere it may stand longer than a Kodiaq.
Our guide to used electric cars for dealers explains how to set a stand-time allowance for EVs. To check a specific car, run a free valuation on MyCarDealer, which compares it with cars of the same model, generation, engine and year range in your country.
Is a used Skoda EV worth buying in 2026?
For buyers who can charge at home or at work, a used Enyaq is good value in 2026: the price has fallen much further than that of a comparable petrol SUV, while running costs are lower. For buyers without charging access, a petrol or diesel Kodiaq remains the safer choice.
For dealers, the answer depends on the market. Buy Enyaqs at a price that leaves room for a battery test, a software update and a slightly longer stand time, and stock them where you can see EV demand in your own sales data.
Frequently asked questions
What is the biggest electric Skoda?
On the used market the biggest electric Skoda is the Enyaq SUV and Enyaq Coupé, with up to an 82 kWh battery. Skoda's larger seven-seat electric SUV is only now arriving, so it plays no role in used trade yet.
How reliable is a used Skoda Enyaq?
The motor and battery are generally reliable. Most reported problems involve software, infotainment, the 12 V battery and charging equipment, which are fixable and often covered by updates.
What are the main competitors of the Skoda Enyaq?
The closest rivals are the VW ID.4 and Audi Q4 e-tron on the same platform, plus the Tesla Model Y, Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5. Used buyers compare them mainly on range, charging speed and price.
How quickly do Enyaqs depreciate?
Early cars lost value quickly. In our October 2026 data, 2021 Enyaqs asked a median of €23,980, around €2,100 below a petrol Kodiaq of similar age.
What should I check on a used Skoda EV?
Check the battery state of health, the remaining battery warranty, the software version, the charging function on AC and DC and the 12 V battery. Missing these checks is the most common reason dealers overpay for EVs.
