2017 SKODA FABIA1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 20 November 2025 at 49,487 miles which resulted in no defects. This clean result indicates that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year have been addressed. The overall maintenance trend shows signs of improvement, as the car moved from multiple advis in 2024 to a pass in the subsequent inspection. At nine years old, the recorded mileage of 49,487 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,500 miles. This low-usage pattern is consistent across the history, with a notable gap of roughly 6,000 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. Such low mileage typically suggests less mechanical wear and tear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or light corrosion on braking surfaces if the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the areas that previously showed wear. The 12 November 2024 test, the tester flagged thin front brake pads and a worn nearside front lower suspension arm pin or bush. While these were cleared in the 2025 test, a physical check of the suspension bushings for perished cracking and a measurement of the remaining brake pad thickness remains prudent. Additionally, the worn parking brake lever pivot noted in March 2023 should be verified for smooth operation to ensure the mechanism remains secure and not prone to mechanical failure.
