2007 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · OY07 KNF

The 2007 Skoda Fabia has a recent MOT history showing mixed results, with the most recent test on 2025-08-07 recording a pass at 101,727 miles. However, this followed a fail on 2025-08-06 with 101,722 miles, highlighting significant issues. The fail included major exhaust leaks, brake pad wear below 1.5 mm, non-functional lights, and tyre tread depths below the legal limit. These problems suggest ongoing mechanical degradation, particularly in critical safety systems like braking and exhaust. The vehicle’s low mileage of 101,727 miles over 19 years equates to roughly 5,354 miles annually, which is below average for its age. This could indicate light use or extended periods of inactivity, both of which may contribute to issues like oil leaks, corrosion, or underused components. However, the frequency of recurring faults—such as exhaust system defects, brake wear, and tyre tread loss—implies potential neglect or systemic wear rather than isolated incidents. A clear pattern of repeated exhaust-related failures emerges, including leaks, poor joiner conditions, and lambda sensor issues. Brake components also show consistent problems, with pad thickness below legal limits and worn discs. Tyre tread depth violations and suspension-related faults (e.g., anti-roll bar linkage wear) further suggest uneven maintenance.
