SKODA FABIA2014 · 1.2L PETROL

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in late September 2025 at 27,252 miles resulted in a pass, though it introduced the first recorded advisories for the vehicle. The tester flagged thin nearside front brake pads and a cut to the nearside front tyre, marking a shift from the clean records seen in previous years to a requirement for minor consumable attention. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2014 registration, averaging approximately 2,271 miles per year. Between September 2021 and September 2025, the car covered only 9,247 miles, indicating a pattern of low-intensity use or long periods of storage. While this low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber-based components and potential corrosion on brake surfaces if the vehicle has sat for extended periods without regular movement. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension to ensure that the thin pads noted in the 2025 test have been replaced without damage to the rotors. Given the low mileage, the tester should also check for seized calipers or perished brake hoses, which are common in vehicles that are driven infrequently. The cut on the nearside front tyre requires a close look to ensure the structural integrity of the sidewall is not compromised, as it did not meet the failure threshold during the last inspection.
