2017 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · AF17 PYX

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy following the most recent test on 25 March 2026 at 63,236 miles, where the tester recorded no defects and issued a pass. The maintenance trend is stable, with the vehicle clearing every successful examination without advisories. The only blemish sits in the days before that pass, when the tester failed the car on 24 March 2026 at 63,233 miles yet logged no defects, a pattern repeated on 8 March 2024 at 39,084 miles where a fail with no defects preceded a same-day pass. Such entries point to administrative or documentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,026 miles across the car's nine years, a typical figure for a 2017 supermini. The records show steady accumulation: 39,084 miles in March 2024, 50,511 miles by March 2025, and 63,236 miles by March 2026. That equates to about 11,400 miles covered in the last twelve months, a slight rise over prior years but no cause for concern. The clean slate of passes and absence of flagged wear items means the history offers little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred servicing. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished defect list. The repeated fail-with-no-defects entries warrant confirmation that no outstanding recall or paperwork anomaly affects the vehicle. Given the age, examine suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for corrosion or fatigue not captured in the MOT data. Check underneath for structural rust on sills and subframes, and verify the exhaust emissions remain within limits under cold start. The previous owner appears to have kept the Fabia to a sensible annual distance and secured timely annual tests. The twin administrative fails suggest the car changed hands or the garage miskeyed results rather than the owner ignoring faults. On the paper evidence alone, this Fabia is a sound used purchase, subject to the usual pre-sale mechanical check.
