2011 SKODA FABIA1.6L Diesel

The 2011 Skoda Fabia with 136,513 miles shows a stable roadworthiness trend, as the most recent MOT on 2026-03-12 at 136,513 miles recorded a pass with no defects. However, the immediate prior test on 2026-03-11 at 136,512 miles resulted in a fail, though no specific issues were noted. This suggests either a procedural anomaly or a minor technical issue resolved between tests. Subsequent tests in 2025 and 2024 also passed without defects, indicating consistent maintenance. The lack of recorded faults in multiple tests implies the vehicle has been well-maintained, though the abrupt fail/pass sequence raises questions about the reliability of the most recent assessment. The vehicle’s mileage of 136,513 miles over 15 years equates to an average of 9,101 miles annually, which aligns with typical usage for its age. The MOT history shows minimal gaps between tests, with the 2024-02-09 test at 121,228 miles followed by a 2025-02-21 pass at 128,678 miles, reflecting steady usage. The 2026 tests occurred just 24 hours apart, raising potential concerns about the accuracy of the fail result. The absence of defect records in all tests suggests the vehicle has not exhibited critical mechanical or structural issues, though the sparse data limits deeper analysis of wear patterns. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the suspension, brakes, and exhaust system, as these components are prone to gradual degradation not always captured in MOT records. Despite the lack of recorded defects, the vehicle’s age and high mileage warrant scrutiny of coil springs, suspension bushes, and brake disc condition. Corrosion in body panels and undercarriage should also be checked, as these can develop over time without triggering MOT failures. The absence of advisories in the history is positive, but the recent fail/pass inconsistency underscores the need for an independent mechanical assessment before purchase.
