Skoda Felicia MOT reliability

We do not show MOT figures for the Skoda Felicia. 38% of those on the DVLA record are vans, and DVSA’s MOT results do not separate car and van tests of the same model, so the figures would not describe the car. How we work out MOT figures.

Skoda Felicia registrations over time

Registrations of Skoda Felicias for the first time in Great Britain were highest at 246 in 2001, when this data begins. In 2025, 0 were registered. With almost none registered new, the number on the road is likely to keep falling.

  • Official figures from laboratory type-approval tests. VCA says they may not be achieved in real-world driving, and should not be used to rank cars with similar figures.
  • Engine sizes are rounded to the nearest 0.1 litre. A version is one line in VCA’s data (description, gearbox, engine and fuel), counted once however many years it was listed. Matched from VCA’s model name “Felicia Hatch”. How we use VCA’s figures.

DVSA lists 1 safety recall for the Skoda Felicia, launched on 4 February 1998.

Malfunction of air bag

Launched 4 February 1998 DVSA recall R/1997/090

Defect
The wiring to the air bag control unit can chafe on the brake/clutch lever. This may lead to malfunction of the air bag unit.
Remedy
Affected vehicles are being recalled to have the air bag wiring re-routed and fixed to the bulkhead. Any wiring found to be damaged will be replaced or repaired.
Vehicles affected
12,189 Felicia vehicles
Built
Build dates not given

38% of the Skoda Felicias on the DVLA record are vans. DVSA’s recalls cover every body type, so some of these recalls may apply only to vans.

A recall applies to cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, not to every Skoda Felicia. The details come from manufacturers through DVSA, which says they may be delayed or incomplete. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check or ask the manufacturer or a dealer. How we match recalls to models.

  • Figures cover Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales). Northern Ireland is not included.
  • Licensed counts are vehicles with a current tax or exemption at the end of each year (or the latest quarter). SORN counts are shown separately.
  • First registrations count vehicles registered in Great Britain for the first time, including used imports.
  • Models are grouped by DVLA’s generic model name, so every generation and trim counts together.
