2014 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · AF64 FHW

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 June 2025 at 34,988 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes show no advisories or faults. The vehicle has cleared every examination since a single failure in September 2023 that logged no defects, indicating the rejection was administrative rather than mechanical. At roughly twelve years old the Fabia shows 34,988 recorded miles, an average of about 2,916 miles per year. The record confirms light use: mileage moved from 28,873 in September 2022 to 30,265 by September 2023, then sat at 30,810 in July 2024 before reaching 34,988 in June 2025. A gap exists between the 28 September 2023 pass and the 27 September 2022 pass, with a failed attempt on 28 September 2023 at identical mileage suggesting a re-test within days. Low annual coverage implies prolonged standing periods, which can age tyres, flat-spot suspension bushes, and promote corrosion even without high mechanical wear. The clean MOT history gives no flagged items on brakes, suspension, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity across all entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of coil springs, brake discs, and underbody for rust, since the tester may not have raised advisories on a lightly used car. Verify the 23 September 2023 failure cause, as DVSA data here lists no defects despite the reject. Given the sparse and clean record, previous owners appear to have kept basic upkeep current. The low mileage and zero advisories suggest careful, infrequent use rather than neglected high wear. Confirm service history and check for perished rubber components before purchase.
