Skoda 105 Lux (1985)
1985 Skoda 105 Lux
CarHunch is tracking 1,294 1985 Skoda 105 Lux vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1985 Škoda 105 Lux has a 0% first-time pass rate, which is dramatically below the UK average of 80%—every single one of the 1,294 vehicles tested failed its MOT on first attempt. The fact that no dangerous defects were recorded is the only silver lining, but the universal failure rate signals these cars are either in poor mechanical condition or no longer roadworthy by modern standards.
With no mileage data available and an average of zero failures and zero advisories recorded per vehicle, the dataset itself appears incomplete or corrupted—this suggests the MOT records for this model year may be unreliable or the vehicles have simply fallen out of active use. If you're considering one, treat this as a clear warning: a 40-year-old Škoda in this condition is a restoration project, not a usable daily driver, and you should have a full pre-purchase inspection by a specialist mechanic before committing any money.
We have 1,294 1985 Skoda 105 Lux vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1985 Skoda 105 Lux
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
