2014 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Petrol · AE64 BAZ

The 2014 Skoda Fabia demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with all six MOT tests from 2021 to 2025 passing without defects. The most recent June 2025 test at 54,387 miles confirmed no issues, aligning with the consistent pattern of prior results. No advisories or failures were recorded across the entire history, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to meet legal standards. The absence of recurring faults suggests the previous owner prioritized basic upkeep, though the lack of detailed notes limits insight into specific component conditions. The mileage progression shows a steady annual increase of approximately 4,500 miles, reflecting low usage for a 12-year-old vehicle. Tests conducted every 12 months from 2021 to 2025 reveal no abrupt mileage spikes or extended gaps, which might indicate periods of inactivity. The 2021 test at 42,710 miles to 2025’s 54,387 miles covers a total of 11,677 miles over four years, consistent with light driving. This pattern reduces wear on consumables like tyres and brakes but does not eliminate the need for thorough inspection of aging components. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as these can degrade over time regardless of mileage. The absence of corrosion reports in the MOT history is positive, but visual checks for rust on the chassis and underbody are recommended. The brake system, particularly rear calipers, should be tested for binding, and the exhaust’s structural integrity inspected for hidden damage. While the MOT record shows no faults, the vehicle’s low mileage may mask wear in components that require regular use to remain functional.
