Skoda Favorit Glxie (1995)
1995 Skoda Favorit Glxie
CarHunch analysed 119 real MOT records for the 1995 Skoda Favorit Glxie. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 1995 Skoda Favorit GLXie is a reliability disaster: just 8% of cars pass their MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%, and it scores a worrying CarHunch rating of 55 out of 100. While the dangerous defect rate sits at a manageable 5%, the overwhelmingly poor pass rate tells you these cars are fundamentally unreliable by modern standards.
The median mileage of 72,293 miles is low for a 29-year-old car, which suggests survivors tend to have been driven gently or cherished—yet even these still fail MOT in droves. With an average of 0.19 failures and 0.5 advisories per vehicle, you're looking at consistent, multiple issues across brakes, suspension, corrosion and emissions systems. Unless you're buying this as a project or hobby restore, look elsewhere; the money you'll spend fixing this car will quickly exceed its value.
What to check before buying a 1995 Skoda Favorit Glxie
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.
