2015 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · OV65 CXU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance history over the last four years. The most recent inspection on 22 August 2025 at 118,228 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This sequence suggests a specific issue was identified and immediately rectified prior to the retest. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without mechanical or structural failures during the annual inspections. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,700 miles per annum. Between August 2022 at 75,993 miles and August 2025 at 118,228 miles, the car covered roughly 42,000 miles, indicating a steady pattern of use rather than long periods of neglect or sudden heavy load. The regularity of the test intervals suggests the vehicle has been used on a predictable schedule, which often correlates with better preservation of the drivetrain and suspension components. While the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or failures, a buyer should focus on high-mileage wear typical for a 118,000-mile Skoda. Physical inspection of the front suspension bushes and coil springs is necessary, as these components often degrade at this stage. Given the brief failure and immediate pass in August 2025, the buyer should verify what specific part was replaced or adjusted to ensure the repair was not merely a temporary fix. Checking for corrosion on the rear sills and exhaust system remains vital to ensure the structural integrity remains sound as the vehicle ages.
