2014 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · BD64 ADO

A consistent pattern of clean roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with the most recent test on 27 April 2026 showing no defects recorded. The MOT history demonstrates a stable trend of compliance over several years, with the only recorded advisory appearing in April 2025 regarding a nail in the nearside front tyre. Aside from that single instance of tyre wear, the vehicle has maintained a clear record across all recorded tests since 2018, suggesting that no major structural or mechanical failures have been flagged by the DVSA during its testing intervals. The usage profile of this Skoda Fabia is notably low for a 2014 model, with 43,402 miles recorded over approximately twelve years. This equates to an annual average of roughly 3,617 miles, which is significantly below the UK national average. While this low mileage reduces the cumulative wear on drivetrain components, brake assemblies, and suspension bushes, such a pattern can also imply periods where the vehicle has been stationary. When a vehicle is driven infrequently, components like brake discs can be prone to surface corrosion or binding, and rubber elements in the suspension or engine bay may undergo more age-related degradation than mileage-related wear. Given the specific advisory regarding the nearside front tyre in 2025, a prospective buyer should inspect the current condition of all four tyres for uneven wear patterns or sidewall damage. Although the 2026 test showed no further defects, it is prudent to check that the tyre was replaced or repaired and that the wheel rim shows no signs of impact damage. During a test drive, pay close attention to any vibrations through the steering wheel or a rhythmic thumping sensation at specific speeds, which could indicate a bulge or an improperly seated tyre. Because the vehicle has been driven such low annual distances, mechanical attention should be directed toward components that can degrade through inactivity. Listen for any knocks or knocks from the suspension when driving over speed bumps, which might indicate perished rubber bushes or worn coil springs. Additionally, monitor the brake pedal feel for any sponginess or judder under braking, as low-use vehicles can sometimes experience uneven pad deposits on the brake discs. Checking for any signs of fluid weeping around the engine or gearbox will also be a necessary step to ensure that seals have not dried out due to the low mileage profile.
