SKODA FABIA2007 · 1.2L Petrol

The Skoda Fabia passed its most recent MOT on 11 March 2024 at 132,748 miles with no defects recorded, confirming a roadworthy status at that time. The maintenance trend across the supplied records shows a resolving pattern, with emission, lighting and drivetrain faults from earlier years cleared before the final clean test. Recurrent lambda and engine management issues seen in 2022 and 2023 did not carry through to the last examination. Mileage advanced from 112,571 in March 2022 to 123,057 by 2 March 2023, then to 132,748 by 11 March 2024, equating to roughly 9,700 to 10,500 miles per year. This sits above the ~7,000 miles per annum typical for a 19-year-old hatchback, yet reflects steady commuting rather than erratic accumulation or long dormant periods. Consistent annual test dates suggest the previous keepers observed statutory testing discipline. The tester recorded exhaust lambda readings outside specified limits on both the March 2022 and March 2023 failures, implying the prior owner deferred emissions repairs until forced. A buyer should commission an in-person check of the catalytic converter, lambda sensors and overall mixture calibration despite the 2024 pass. Inspect the front drive shaft constant velocity boots closely; the offside outer boot showed severe deterioration in March 2023 and, although no advisory appeared in 2024, the replacement standard warrants verification. Headlamp aim and engine MIL faults flagged in the 2023 failure require confirmation that rectification proved permanent. At 132,748 miles and 19 years old, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and subframe corrosion deserve physical scrutiny even though the MOT history raised no advisories in those areas. The absence of recorded defects does not preclude age-related wear invisible to the test bay.
