2017 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · YB67 AAK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the documented MOT history. Although the most recent test on 20 November 2025 at 73,238 miles resulted in an initial failure, the car passed upon retest with no defects recorded. This suggests a specific issue that was rectified immediately rather than a chronic mechanical decline. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without any recorded advisories or recurring failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per year. Between November 2022 (35,127 miles) and November 2024 (55,734 miles), the car covered 20,607 miles, showing a steady rate of use. The subsequent 17,504 miles covered in the year leading to the latest test mirrors this trend. This consistent accumulation indicates the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stagnation, which ensures seals and mechanical components have been subjected to regular operating cycles. Because the record shows no previous advisories for structural corrosion or suspension component wear, a physical inspection should focus on standard consumable items for this age bracket. The buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and the state of the suspension bushes, as these were not flagged in the recent tests. Given the single failure in late 2025, it is worth confirming the reason for that specific failure to ensure it was a simple component replacement like a bulb or a sensor rather than a deeper mechanical fault.
