2013 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · AP62 AAZ

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 23 June 2025 at 42,056 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The June 2025 pass came on the same day as a failure logged at identical mileage with no defects recorded, mirroring an identical pattern from 12 June 2023 when a failure and pass both occurred at 34,776 miles with no faults cited. These paired entries suggest administrative or presentation anomalies at the test centre rather than mechanical defects, and no advisories or defects appear anywhere in the five-year record. The odometer shows 42,056 miles against a 2013 build date, equating to roughly 3,235 miles per year and confirming very light use for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. Annual increments stay modest: 34,776 miles in June 2023, 39,443 by June 2024, and 42,056 by June 2025, a total of 7,280 miles over two years. Such low accumulation implies the car spent extended periods stationary, though the clean test history gives no evidence of neglect in the form of failed consumables or worn components. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as low-mileage cars left standing often develop perished rubber and seized mechanisms absent from MOT advisories. Structural corrosion beneath sills and subframes warrants close examination given the vehicle's age and likely outdoor storage. The absence of recorded defects does not exempt the Fabia from pre-purchase scrutiny of tyre sidewall condition and exhaust integrity, where intermittent use accelerates degradation invisible to the annual test.
