2012 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Petrol · CK12 AAJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on March 26, 2026 at 55,211 miles. However, the immediate history reveals a period of significant instability, as the car failed four consecutive MOT tests between February 20 and March 24 of the same year. While the trend shows a resolving pattern culminating in success, the cluster of failures suggests a reactive approach to maintenance where faults were only addressed once a test was failed. The mileage profile is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,944 miles per year. The data shows a high concentration of activity in early 2026, with the car covering only 74 miles between the February 20 failure and the March 26 pass. This minimal movement over short intervals suggests the vehicle was either stationary for long periods or used only for very short trips. Low-use vehicles of this age often suffer from age-related degradation such as perished rubber components, seized calipers, or fluid breakdown rather than mechanical wear from high-mile. A buyer must investigate the specific defects that caused the four failures in the final five weeks, as the provided record does not list the technical fault points. Given the low mileage and the recent cluster of failures, an inspection should focus on corrosion on brake discs and suspension components which often degrade during inactivity. The structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension bushes require close scrutiny, as these are prone to cracking regardless of the distance driven.
