2006 Skoda Fabia: petrol or diesel?

Petrol, diesel and hybrid versions go wrong in different ways, so each has its own figures from the MOTs these cars had during 2023–2025. Pick the one you’re looking at: the fuel is on the logbook and in the car’s MOT history.

Petrol 51% pass first time (all 2006 cars: 56%) Stands out: headlights 1.8×, drive shaft (cv) joints 2.2×, exhaust system 1.6× 14,151 MOTsSee the petrol guide › Diesel 56% pass first time (all 2006 cars: 56%) Stands out: drive shaft (cv) joints 2.7×, braking performance 1.8×, individual direction indicators 1.8× 8,274 MOTsSee the diesel guide ›

Hybrid versions had too few MOTs for figures of their own, or weren’t sold.
