MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

5 MOT tests are recorded for this 2003 Skoda Fabia (AE53 ATF) between October 2023 and October 2024.

The record contains 2 passes and 3 failures.

The most recent test on 15 October 2024 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 3 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Lighting (8 issues), Suspension (7 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Tyres (5 issues), Brakes (5 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 25 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Exhaust carbon monoxide content after 2nd fast idle exceeds manufacturer's specified limits (8.2.1.2 (a))”; “Upper Stop lamp(s) remains on when the brakes are released (4.3.2 (a) (iii))”; “Central Exhaust emissions likely to be affected by an exhaust leak (8.2.1.1 (b))”.
