2011 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · AF60 LVT

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 1 July 2025 at 60,256 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The preceding annual tests show the same clean outcome, indicating no escalating mechanical faults across the observed period. A single failure appears in the record on 3 July 2024 at 55,350 miles, yet the tester logged no defects and the vehicle passed the following day at 55,352 miles, pointing to an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a genuine fault. The odometer sat at 49,694 miles for the January 2023 test, rose marginally to 50,011 miles by July 2023, then climbed to 55,352 miles in July 2024 and 60,256 miles in July 2025. Against a 2011 build date this equates to roughly 4,000 miles per year, a low figure for a fifteen-year-old car. Such limited use often means lighter drivetrain wear but raises the risk of perished rubber components, stale fluids, and corrosion from prolonged standing, though the sparse clean record gives no direct evidence of neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and low usage pattern. The MOT history flags no advisories on corrosion or exhaust emissions, yet the 2024 failure with no listed defect warrants confirmation that no latent structural or braking issue was overlooked at retest. Verify underseal condition and check for binding calipers or degraded tyres that short-mileage storage can conceal.
