2011 Skoda Fabia 1.6L Diesel · WN11 AVU

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT results indicate a shift toward age-related wear and tear. While the car has passed every inspection since 2014, the October 2025 test at 93,121 miles introduced several advisories that suggest a transition from a pristine mechanical state to one requiring more frequent attention. The presence of corrosion on the rear axle suspension mounting and tyre-related defects marks the first significant departure from the clean records seen in previous years. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression from 24,011 miles in April 2014 to the current 93,121 miles. There are no significant gaps in the testing history, which suggests the vehicle has been in regular use and subject to consistent annual oversight. The jump from 74,877 miles in July 2023 to 84,194 miles in October 2024, and subsequently to 93,121 miles in October 2025, shows a predictable and manageable rate of usage. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear suspension mounting area to assess the extent of the corrosion noted in the October 2025 test. Although the tester deemed the corrosion not excessive, surface rust on structural components can progress quickly if left unaddressed. The track rod end play flagged in October 2024 suggests that steering and suspension components are beginning to reach the end of their service life. The recent advisories regarding the nearside rear tyre being worn on the edge and the offside rear tyre having an inner wall cut indicate that consumable maintenance has become more reactive. Checking the remaining tread depth and the condition of all four tyres is essential. Additionally, the pitted brake discs noted in July 2020 suggest the braking system is subject to standard environmental wear, so a thorough check of the current disc and pad thickness is advised to ensure no immediate replacement is necessary.
