2011 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · MW60 LFS

The 2011 Skoda Fabia has a recent MOT history showing mixed results, with a critical failure just one day before a subsequent pass. The most recent MOT on 2024-10-18 recorded a pass at 105,483 miles, but the prior test on 2024-10-17 revealed multiple serious defects . These included tyre damage, exhaust corrosion, parking brake inefficiency, and a faulty airbag warning system. The proximity of these two tests suggests the vehicle may have been repaired quickly, but the severity of the failure highlights ongoing mechanical risks. Recurring issues over the past four years include tyre damage (cracking, ply exposure), exhaust corrosion , and suspension component wear (bushes, shock absorbers). The 2022-07-01 failure listed serious suspension and exhaust problems , while the 2024-10-17 test showed similar tyre and braking concerns. These patterns indicate a vehicle prone to progressive wear in critical areas, particularly underbody components and safety systems. However, the 2024 pass suggests some issues were addressed, though the lack of detailed repair records leaves uncertainty. The vehicle’s mileage of 105,483 miles over 15 years equates to ~7,032 miles per year , which is typical for its age . This does not strongly indicate heavy use or prolonged inactivity, but the recurring defects suggest moderate to heavy usage over time.
