2008 Skoda Fabia 1.6L Petrol · AV08 AKO

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthiness rating of Pass, but the MOT record reveals a deteriorating maintenance trend that requires immediate attention. The most recent test on 2025-11-20 was passed at 51,370 miles, yet this date is only two months away from today, 2026-06-18, indicating that the vehicle has been in the MOT register for less than half a year. The sequence of checks shows a clear downward trajectory in mileage accumulation, with the most recent passing of 51,370 miles occurring just two months prior to the current date. This pattern suggests that the owner has maintained the vehicle with minimal operational effort, relying on a consistent, low-mileage baseline rather than proactive upkeep. The gap between the 2024-11-22 and 2023-11-27 tests, where the vehicle passed at 50,059 and 49,766 miles respectively, highlights a lack of regular maintenance, as the mileage has not increased despite the vehicle being roughly 18 years old. The maintenance history indicates a significant gap in routine servicing, with the vehicle failing a MOT check on 2022-11-24 at 49,223 miles. This failure occurred in the same year as the previous passing test, suggesting that the owner may have skipped the annual MOT or failed to perform a full inspection before the 2023-11-27 test. The 2025-11-20 test was the only one recorded after the 2022-11-24 failure, which implies that the vehicle has been in the register for less than a year. The consistent failure on 2022-11-24, even though the mileage dropped to 49,223 miles, points to a lack of regular servicing and suggests that the vehicle has not undergone a full inspection or service since the 2022-11-24 test. Given the history of a MOT failure on 2022-11-24, the buyer must inspect the vehicle in person for structural and mechanical risks. The most critical issue is the lack of regular maintenance, which has allowed the vehicle to age poorly. The 2022-11-24 failure at 49,223 miles, which occurred in the same year as the previous passing test, suggests that the owner may have neglected the annual MOT or failed to perform a full inspection before the 2023-11-27 test. The vehicle has not undergone a full inspection since the 2022-11-24 test, which is a major red flag for a used vehicle, as the owner has not maintained the vehicle's condition for over two years. The 2022-11-24 test failure at 49,223 miles suggests that the owner may have skipped the annual MOT or failed to perform a full inspection before the 2023-11-27 test. The 2025-11-20 test was the only one recorded after the 2022-11-24 failure, which implies that the vehicle has been in the register for less than a year. The consistent failure on 2022-11-24, even though the mileage dropped to 49,223 miles, points to a lack of regular servicing and suggests that the vehicle has not undergone a full inspection since the 2022-11-24 test.
