2007 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · J8 MNW

The overall roadworthiness is currently rated as acceptable , though the maintenance history presents a clear pattern of worsening issues that have not yet resolved. The vehicle has passed its first MOT on 2025-08-22 at 112,134 miles, but subsequent tests in 2024 and 2023 have failed, with the most recent failure occurring in August 2023 at 86,327 miles. This sequence of failures indicates that the vehicle's mechanical integrity has deteriorated significantly since the 2025 test, suggesting a lack of consistent upkeep and a potential trend toward worsening wear. The mileage accumulation is notably worsening relative to the vehicle's age of 19 years. While the vehicle has maintained roughly 5,902 miles per year, the data points show rapid gaps between tests, with the most recent failure occurring in August 2023 at 86,327 miles. This rapid decline in mileage suggests that the owner has likely been skipping regular maintenance or relying on the previous owner's service, leading to accelerated degradation of components such as suspension, brakes, and drivetrain parts. Given the recurring faults and the structural risks identified, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person to assess the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, and brake discs. The history of passing tests followed by failures in 2024 and 2023 indicates that the drivetrain and braking systems are not in optimal condition, and the lack of a passing MOT in 2025 confirms that the vehicle is still under significant risk of failure.
