Check a specific Skyjet SjShould you buy a used Skyjet Sj?
The Skyjet Sj has an overall MOT pass rate of 63.9% across 571 real MOT tests — below the UK average, so reliability should be a key concern.
The most common failure point is direction indicator incorrect colour with 10 recorded occurrences. Check for this on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection.
On the safety side, the most frequently flagged dangerous fault is valve stem seriously damaged. Dangerous faults cause an immediate MOT failure and mean the vehicle is not roadworthy until repaired. If you're viewing a Skyjet Sj with an expired or recently passed MOT, ask the seller whether any dangerous faults were found and fixed during the last test.
A typical Skyjet Sj owner drives around 1,181 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.
In terms of longevity, most Skyjet Sj models stay on UK roads for around 15 years — a strong showing that suggests solid build quality and readily available parts. If you're buying one that's already approaching that window, the data suggests it has plenty of life left provided it's been maintained.
Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
