2006 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · CV06 AEF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-03-22 at 153,538 miles resulted in a failure, though no defects were recorded. This follows a 2024-01-15 pass at 147,044 miles and a prior failure on 2024-01-11 at 147,035 miles, indicating inconsistent testing outcomes without documented issues. The lack of defect details in these tests limits definitive assessment, but the repeated failures suggest potential unresolved mechanical or structural concerns. The absence of recorded faults in the 2023-01-06 and 2021-06-29 tests implies a possible improvement in compliance, though this is not confirmed by subsequent results. The vehicle’s mileage of 153,538 miles over 20 years equates to an average of 7,677 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. However, the 2021-06-29 test at 139,268 miles shows a gap of 4,820 miles over two years, potentially reflecting periods of inactivity. Subsequent increases to 144,088 miles by 2023-01-06 and 147,044 miles by 2024-01-15 suggest gradual usage, while the jump to 153,538 miles in 2025-03-22 indicates a sharp rise of 6,494 miles in one year. This recent acceleration may exacerbate wear on components such as brakes, suspension, and drivetrain, though no specific issues were logged. A buyer should prioritize an independent inspection of the suspension system, focusing on worn bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers, which may degrade with age and mileage. The brake system, including calipers, discs, and hydraulic components, warrants scrutiny, as repeated MOT failures without recorded defects could hint at unresolved issues. Structural corrosion, particularly in body panels and undercarriage, should also be checked, given the vehicle’s age. Exhaust emissions and emissions control systems, though not flagged in MOT records, may require verification to ensure compliance with current standards.
