MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

24 MOT tests are recorded for this 2001 Skoda Fabia (Y118 DFC) between July 2005 and September 2022.

The record contains 18 passes and 6 failures.

The most recent test on 21 September 2022 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 6 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Suspension (20 issues), Lighting (11 issues), Brakes (6 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (6 issues), Tyres (6 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 47 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “Nearside Front Upper Anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover no longer prevents the ingress of dirt (5.3.4 (b) (ii))”; “Offside Rear Shock absorbers has a serious fluid leak (5.3.2 (b))”; “Brake fluid contaminated (1.8 (a))”.
