2006 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Petrol · AE06 EVV

The Skoda Fabia passed its most recent MOT on 10 October 2022 at 72,190 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no mechanical advisories or worsening faults. The vehicle cleared the test cleanly after a failed attempt three days earlier on 7 October 2022 at the same mileage, where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical failure. Recorded mileage sits at 72,190 against a 2006 build, averaging roughly 3,610 miles per year. The data shows almost no accumulation: just 172 miles between the 6 October 2021 pass at 72,018 miles and the 2022 tests. Two consecutive years show a fail immediately followed by a pass at identical mileage within days, suggesting the car was presented for test, pulled, then retested rather than driven in between. Such low use over two decades implies long standing periods, though the sparse record gives little insight into consumable replacement habits. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion, as a 20-year-old vehicle with intermittent use is prone to perishing rubber and structural rust unseen by a clean MOT. The brake discs, calipers, and handbrake mechanism warrant checking for binding or seizure after prolonged inactivity. Exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition should be verified, since standing tyres degrade even without mileage. The repeated fail-with-no-defect entries on 29 September 2021 and 7 October 2022 point to paperwork or tester error rather than owner neglect of mechanical items. Previous keepers appear to have stored the car lightly rather than racked up wear, but the absence of advisories across four tests limits the diagnostic value of the record.
