SKODA FELICIA1997 · 1.3L PETROL

The most recent MOT was on 2007-07-10 — over 18 years ago. It passed at 76,314 miles with no defects recorded. The previous MOT, in 2006-07-10, also passed but flagged several issues: both front tyres worn close to the legal limit, rear direction indicators discoloured (a minor cosmetic/lighting concern), and slight play in the offside rear wheel bearing — a genuine mechanical fault requiring attention. The wheel bearing issue is the only recurring mechanical concern in this history, and it was noted just once. There’s no evidence the bearing fault worsened, recurred, or was repaired — nor any later MOT to show whether it persisted or was addressed. With no further MOTs after 2007, the trend cannot be assessed as worsening, stable, or improving. The record ends abruptly. The car is 29 years old with only 76,314 miles — around 2,632 miles per year. This is low annual mileage, but the gap between the last MOT and today (2026) means the vehicle has likely stood unused for nearly two decades. Low mileage alone doesn’t guarantee good condition; long-term storage risks dry-rotted rubber, seized linkages, degraded brake fluid, stale fuel system components, and corroded suspension or wheel bearings — especially since a bearing fault was already present before storage.
