2005 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Petrol · LB05 BHO

The 2021‑10‑11 MOT at 91,002 miles failed, so the vehicle is not currently roadworthy. Repeated failures since the 2020 test indicate a worsening maintenance trend rather than stability. From the 2015 test at 41,866 miles to the 2021 test at 91,002 miles the odometer climbed by 49,136 miles, an average of roughly 8,200 miles per year, contrasting sharply with the lower annual averages recorded between 2010 and 2014, when the car accumulated only 18,907 to 33,275 miles. Recurring defects such as tyre tread below 1.6 mm, side‑wall damage, cuts exposing cords, light oil misting on the front shock absorbers, binding rear brake calipers, persistent ABS and brake‑fluid warning lamps, and surface corrosion on the brake discs reveal ongoing mechanical and structural concerns. A buyer should therefore examine the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, test the rear brake calipers for binding, inspect the brake discs and chassis for rust, verify tyre size and condition, check for engine oil leaks, confirm the ABS system operates correctly, and assess overall structural integrity.
