2011 Skoda Fabia 1.6L Diesel · SM11 YBL

The vehicle's MOT history shows an inconsistent pattern of compliance, though the most recent test on 17 July 2024 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a failure just two days prior on 15 July 2024, although the specific nature of that failure was not documented in the provided record. While the 2024 pass suggests a momentary resolution of issues, the presence of two failures within the last three years indicates a non-stable maintenance trend. The recorded mileage of 219,227 miles is high for a 2011 vehicle, averaging approximately 14,615 miles per year. This high level of usage typically accelerates the wear on consumable components and mechanical systems. The records show a significant gap between the 15 July 2024 failure and the previous test on 15 October 2022, during which the vehicle passed without defects. The lack of specific defect data for the failures in September 2021 and July 2024 makes it difficult to track the exact progression of mechanical degradation. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension system, including bushes and coil springs, as well as the braking system for binding calipers or worn discs. Given the high mileage, particular attention should be paid to the condition of the drivetrain and any signs of structural corrosion or exhaust system deterioration. Because the MOT history does not specify the causes of the recorded failures, a pre-purchase inspection is necessary to verify the current state of these critical components. editorial_insight: buying_score: 55 risk_level: Medium.
