2008 Skoda Fabia 1.6L Petrol · AA08 OOJ

The Skoda Fabia passed its most recent MOT on 9 December 2025 at 109,399 miles with no defects recorded, giving it a current roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable on paper, though the test history shows two administrative failures in late 2024 and November 2025 where the tester logged no defects, suggesting documentation or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle carries a clean advisory sheet across all five recorded tests. At roughly 6,078 miles per year, the 109,399 recorded miles are typical for an 18-year-old car of this type. The records show steady, low annual use: 104,068 miles on 22 July 2024 rising to 104,866 miles by 29 November 2024, then 109,367 miles on 29 November 2025 and 109,399 miles twelve days later. No rapid accumulation or unexplained gaps appear in the data. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points, as an MOT pass with no advisories does not confirm absence of developing rust on sills, subframes, or suspension mounting points at this age. The tester recorded no worn suspension bushes, coil springs, or binding calipers, but these items degrade with time regardless of mileage. Given the two zero-defect failures, verify the vehicle was properly presented with correct lamps, plates, and emissions equipment on each attempt. The history implies a previous owner who kept the car lightly used and passed tests without flagged wear, yet the twin 2024 and 2025 failures with no faults noted warrant confirmation that no hidden mechanical fault was masked between visits.
