2011 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · AF61 YCB

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 22 September 2025 at 88,298 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior pass on 2 October 2024 at 85,782 miles also showed a clean sheet. The two failed entries from 1 October 2024 and 16 August 2023 carry no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The vehicle has remained free of advisories across the full recorded history. At roughly 15 years old the Fabia shows 88,298 miles, an average of about 5,887 miles per year. That is low for its age. The record spans just three years of tests, from 82,892 miles in August 2023 to 88,298 miles in September 2025, a gain of only 5,406 miles over that period. The sparse, clean history gives little basis to judge consumable wear, though low use combined with the 2024 one-day fail-and-repass pattern suggests the car may have sat unused for stretches or changed hands with paperwork delays. A buyer should still verify in person what the MOT cannot capture. With no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, the underside and structural integrity remain unflagged but unconfirmed by the record. Low annual mileage often masks perished rubber components and surface rust on sills or subframes from standing. Check the braking system for binding calipers and disc condition, and inspect tyres for sidewall cracking from age rather than tread wear. The clean DVSA data implies reasonable care, but the gaps in testing mean a physical inspection of exhaust emissions and chassis remains prudent before purchase.
