2005 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Petrol · AV55 FLZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent test on October 2025 at 65,656 miles. While the history shows two failures, both were rectified immediately within days, indicating a proactive approach to maintaining compliance. The lack of advisories in the 2024 and 2025 tests suggests that the car is currently in a good mechanical state with no immediate signs of escalating component failure or structural degradation. At over twenty-one years old, the recorded mileage of 65,656 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 3,126 miles per annum. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with only 2,004 miles covered between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 1,608 miles in the year leading the latest test. This pattern typically indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to average vehicles, though low mileage often masks the age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown due to infrequent use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis, as low-mileage older vehicles are frequently prone to hidden corrosion in sills and suspension mounting points. Despite the clean MOT record, the age of the vehicle means suspension bushes and tyres may be cracking or perished regardless of the low tread depth. Additionally, check the brake system for seized calipers or rusted pistons, as long periods of standing stationary can lead to internal corrosion on the discs that a standard MOT test might not fully highlight until it becomes severe.
