1986 Skoda 120 1.2L Petrol · D838 AJF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, maintaining a clean record across its most recent inspections. The latest test on August 16, 2025, at 43,731 miles resulted in no defects, mirroring the clean pass from June 2024. This indicates that the car is currently in a well-maintained state and that previous mechanical issues related to engine mounts and lighting have been successfully addressed by the owner. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle from 1986, averaging approximately 1,100 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between February 2020 and June 2024, during which the car covered only 215 miles. Such low mileage suggests the vehicle is likely stored indoors and driven sparingly, which can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and seals despite the low mechanical wear. The mileage has remained consistently within the 43,000-mile range for the last fifteen years. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the rear section, specifically where a wall crack was noted in 2016. While the vehicle passed subsequent tests, older Skodas are prone to corrosion in these areas. Close inspection of the rear engine mounts is necessary, as these were a recurring fault between 2017 and 2018. Ensure the current mounts show no signs of tearing or perished rubber. Given the history of uneven brake application recorded in 2010, a thorough road test is recommended to ensure the calipers are not seized or binding due to long periods of inactivity.
