2011 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · FV61 EXD

The 2011 Skoda Fabia passed its most recent MOT on 6 September 2021 at 83,321 miles, but the record shows a pattern of recurring faults rather than improvement. Multiple advisories on suspension bushes, steering rack play, tyre condition and exhaust corrosion were noted, indicating ongoing mechanical concerns. The vehicle has accumulated 83,321 miles over roughly 15 years, averaging about 5,555 miles per year, which is low for its age, yet the mileage trajectory shows uneven usage: after a relatively stable period from 2016 to 2018, mileage rose sharply to 76,780 miles by September 2020, indicating a year of intensive use, before settling to the final reading. A buyer should focus on the front and rear suspension arm bushes and pins, which have repeatedly been recorded as worn, the steering rack inner joint where play appears in every test since 2020, the rear service brakes that have shown binding, the exhaust silencer for corrosion, the tyres for cuts, perishing or bulges, the wheel rims for distortion, the bump stops, the direction indicators, and the parking brake adjustment. Given these recurring issues, a prospective buyer should verify the condition of the suspension components, steering linkage, rear brakes, exhaust system, tyre integrity, wheel alignment and the parking brake, and confirm that the oil leak remains within acceptable limits.
