2006 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · AE06 WLP

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 27 August 2025 at 135,563 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across the recorded history. The August 2025 test cycle shows a fail and pass on the same day at identical mileage with no defects logged, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in August 2024, August 2023, and August 2022 all passed cleanly with no advisories raised. Annual mileage averages 6,778 against the vehicle's 20-year life, a typical figure for this age of car. The records show steady accumulation: 115,039 miles in August 2022, 120,982 in August 2023, 127,154 in August 2024, and 135,563 in August 2025. The owner added roughly 5,000 to 7,400 miles each year with no gaps or sudden jumps. The clean test sheet at every interval suggests consistent basic upkeep rather than deferred servicing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the car's two-decade age and 135,563 miles. The MOT history flags no binding calipers, worn brake discs, or exhaust emissions failures, yet testers issued zero advisories throughout, which can mean minor wear went unrecorded. Verify the August 2025 same-day fail cause through DVSA portal notes before purchase. Check tyre tread depth, wiper condition, and undertray rust in person, as these consumables fall outside the recorded data. The Fabia's documented record implies a lightly used, well-kept example, but age-related structural fatigue remains a risk absent tester comment.
