2014 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Diesel · GL64 USG

The most recent MOT test on May 22nd, 2026, passed, but it noted several specific issues requiring attention. The recurring mechanical pattern involves defects related to the rear suspension components, specifically reduced damping effect on both the offside and nearside rear shock absorbers. There is also a defect noted concerning the central exhaust mounting and a minor leak of exhaust gases from the central exhaust. The trend in the MOT history shows a pattern of issues being identified, with the most recent test highlighting specific suspension and exhaust concerns. This suggests the vehicle's mechanical condition is not improving and requires attention to these specific areas. The mileage of 60,838 miles for a 2014 model indicates usage around 5,070 miles per year. This mileage is relatively low for the vehicle's age, which could suggest lighter overall use or extended periods where the vehicle was not driven frequently. A buyer should first inspect the rear suspension components, paying close attention to the rear shock absorbers mentioned in the latest report. Secondly, check the area around the central exhaust for any signs of leakage. Finally, given the history of suspension arm pin or bush wear noted in the 2024 history, a thorough inspection of the front lower suspension components is also essential.
