2011 Skoda Fabia 1.6L Diesel · 423 EAC

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy based on its sole available DVSA test, passing cleanly at 26,302 miles on 26 August 2021 with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend cannot be judged as stable, worsening, or improving from a single entry, but the absence of advisories at that test indicates the vehicle met minimum standards five years ago. The recorded mileage of 26,302 at the August 2021 test equates to roughly 1,753 miles per year across the car's fifteen years, confirming exceptionally light use for a 2011 model. No earlier or later MOT entries appear in the supplied record, leaving a gap of nearly five years to the present date of 8 July 2026. Such sparse history prevents assessment of wear progression, though the low annual distance suggests minimal drivetrain strain but possible deterioration from prolonged standing. A buyer should commission a fresh MOT and physical inspection before purchase, given the elapsed time since the last recorded test. The 2021 pass flagged no suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion issues, yet five years of disuse can seize calipers, flat-spot tyres, and promote structural rust on a vehicle of this age. Priority checks must cover underbody structural integrity, brake binding, and perishable items such as tyres and wiper blades that the 2021 tester found acceptable but which degrade with time rather than miles. The clean record implies previous owners maintained basic compliance, but the long silence since 2021 demands verification of current roadworthiness.
