AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 23 February 2026 at 76,466 miles. The maintenance trend shows a stable pattern of immediate rectification following test failures. While the car failed the initial tests in both 2025 and 2026, it secured a pass result on the same day in both instances. This suggests that the owner is proactive in addressing identified defects immediately to maintain legal compliance rather than allowing mechanical or structural issues to persist over time. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-mileage pattern, averaging approximately 7,650 miles per year. Between February 2024 at 60,816 miles and February 2025 at 68,828 miles, the vehicle covered 8,012 miles, with another 7,638 miles recorded before the February 2026 test. This steady accumulation indicates regular use, which is generally beneficial for the health of mechanical components like rubber bushings and brake seals compared to a vehicle that sits for long periods. A prospective buyer should investigate the specific reasons for the failures in February 2025 and 2026, as the provided record does not detail the specific defects that triggered the initial failures. Common issues for this model involve consumable items such as light bulbs, tyre tread, or minor fluid leaks. Given the age of the Fabia, a physical inspection of the underside for surface corrosion and a check of the suspension arms and bushes remains advisable to ensure that no deeper structural wear is developing despite the clean MOT pass history.
