2008 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · AG08 GUW

The Skoda Fabia presents a clean roadworthiness record with its most recent test on 25 May 2024 returning a pass at 103,585 miles, following an anomalous failure on the same date with no defects logged. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, with passes recorded at 87,462 miles on 30 December 2021, 95,905 miles on 28 December 2022, and the 2024 result. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry, suggesting the vehicle avoided flagged wear on braking, suspension, or emissions systems during those tests. The odometer shows low annual use for an 18-year-old car, averaging roughly 5,755 miles per year against the 103,585 recorded. Between the December 2021 and December 2022 tests the car covered 8,443 miles, then only 7,680 miles to the May 2024 examination, a gentle accumulation that points to light commuting rather than hard driving. A gap exists before the 2021 record, with no earlier entries supplied, so pre-2021 care cannot be judged from this data. The duplicated 25 May 2024 entries with a no-defect fail indicate an administrative retest rather than a mechanical concern. Given the absence of recorded advisories on coil springs, suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion, a buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust, as MOT passes at low mileage can miss slow-developing perishables on a vehicle of this age. The twin 2024 tests warrant confirmation that the V5C and DVSA portal show a valid live certificate, not a stalled failure. Tyres, wiper blades, and fluid condition should be checked as consumables outside the test scope. Previous keepers appear to have maintained statutory testing discipline, with four consecutive clean outcomes and no worsening pattern of defects. The low standing mileage implies components such as calipers and exhaust may have seen limited cycling, so a pre-purchase check for seized handbrake mechanisms or flat-spotted tyres from storage is sensible.
