Expert AI · Mechanic's Insight
This Skoda Fabia presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 4 August 2025 at 94,604 miles passed without a single defect or advisory. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the vehicle is currently in a well-maintained mechanical state. The mileage is typical for a thirteen year old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,277 miles per year. The distance covered between the August 2023 test at 83,372 miles and the August 2025 test at 94,604 miles shows a steady usage pattern of approximately 5,600 miles annually. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or long periods of inactivity that would suggest neglect or hidden deterioration. The record shows two instances where the car failed immediately before passing on the same day, specifically on 4 August 2023 and 8 August 2024. Because no specific defects were recorded for these failures, they likely relate to minor administrative errors or trivial consumable issues resolved on-site. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures, structural corrosion, or suspension wear in the official data. A buyer should focus a physical inspection on common age-related wear not always captured in a clean MOT. Check the condition of the brake discs for lip wear and inspect the suspension bushes for perishing. Given the age of the car, verifying the service history for timing belt and water pump replacements is essential, as these critical components are not part of the standard MOT inspection.
