2011 Skoda Fabia 1.6L Diesel · AX60 BXE

The vehicle's roadworthiness status is currently uncertain due to a failure recorded during the most recent MOT test on 27 June 2025 at 155,508 miles. While the vehicle maintained a clean pass record between July 2022 and July 2024, the sudden failure in 2025 without recorded defects suggests a significant mechanical or structural issue emerged during the last year of operation. This represents a shift from a stable maintenance trend to an unresolved fault that requires immediate investigation before the vehicle can be deemed roadworthy. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a typical 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,367 miles per year. The data shows steady usage, moving from 130,456 miles in July 2022 to 146,637 miles in July 2024, and finally reaching 155,508 miles by June 2025. This steady progression suggests the car has seen regular road use rather than long periods of standing, which generally implies that mechanical components like seals and gaskets have been regularly lubricated by operation, though it also means consumables have faced consistent wear. Because the 2025 failure did not specify the nature of the defect, a physical inspection is essential to identify the cause of the failure. A buyer should focus on checking the underside for significant corrosion or structural integrity issues that might have triggered the fail. Given the age and mileage, particular attention should be paid to the suspension bushes, coil springs, and the condition of the brake discs and calipers to ensure no binding or excessive wear has developed. The previous failure in July 2022 at 130,456 miles indicates that the vehicle has encountered issues in the past, though these were resolved to achieve a pass in subsequent years. You must verify that the specific cause of the 2025 failure has been rectified with genuine parts. Inspecting the exhaust system for excessive corrosion and checking the tyre tread depths and sidewall integrity is also advised to ensure the vehicle meets current MOT standards.
