2014 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · MT64 VOD

The 2025-09-24 MOT records show both a passed and failed outcome for the same mileage (74,786 miles), indicating inconsistent testing or potential administrative errors. The passed MOT listed brake disc wear, minor exhaust leaks, front tyres near legal limits, and suspension bush wear. The failed MOT repeated these issues and added non-working stop lamps. This suggests unresolved mechanical concerns, with the stop lamp failure being a new safety risk. Recurring defects include brake disc wear (front inner surfaces), exhaust leaks , tyre wear , and suspension bush wear . These issues persisted across both 2025 MOTs, implying ongoing maintenance challenges. The suspension bush wear (5.3.4 (a) (i)) and brake disc pitting (1.1.14 (a) (ii)) are not immediately critical but could worsen without attention. The stop lamp failure (4.3.1 (a) (iii)) is a direct safety hazard requiring urgent repair. The vehicle’s mileage (74,786 miles over 12 years) aligns with average usage (6,232 miles/year). This suggests neither extreme under-use nor heavy wear, but the repeated defects may indicate neglect or component fatigue.
