2012 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · FR12 AEA

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of passing its MOT tests. The most recent inspection on 22 July 2025 at 68,716 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a pattern of clean passes dating back to 2022, suggesting the car has been maintained to a standard that meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a 2012 model, averaging roughly 4,908 miles per year. There was a significant increase in usage between September 2022 and August 2023, where the odometer rose from 36,081 to 50,891 miles. More recently, the vehicle covered 6,839 miles between May 2024 and July 2025. While the low overall mileage reduces general drivetrain wear, the sporadic usage patterns can sometimes lead to issues with perished rubber components or battery degradation. The absence of any advisories across the last four years is unusual for a fourteen year old vehicle. The record shows a failure on 29 May 2024, though the data lists no specific defects, and it passed the following day at the same mileage. This suggests a clerical error or a very minor rectification. Because the MOT history is exceptionally clean, it provides no data on the wear levels of consumables. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure until they are critical. Check the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, as low-mileage cars often suffer from age-related rubber degradation regardless of distance traveled. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the tyre dates to ensure the rubber has not hardened over time.
