2012 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · CT12 AWA

The 2012 Skoda Fabia presents a stable and exemplary maintenance trend, culminating in a completely clean pass on 30 June 2025 at 96,078 miles. The tester recorded zero defects or advisories, indicating the vehicle met all roadworthiness standards without requiring any remedial work. This unbroken chain of five consecutive flawless MOTs demonstrates a consistent pattern of diligent upkeep rather than reactive repairs. The owner has clearly maintained the car to a high standard, addressing potential issues before they escalate into failures. The annual mileage accumulation reveals a distinct shift in usage over the last five years. Between the 2021 test at 71,515 miles and the 2023 test at 78,911 miles, the car covered roughly 3,600 to 3,800 miles annually, suggesting short, local journeys. However, the subsequent periods show a notable increase; the vehicle covered 8,145 miles between June 2023 and June 2024, and 9,022 miles between June 2024 and June 2025. This recent uptick points to a change in ownership or usage pattern, likely involving longer commutes or motorway driving. While the current recorded mileage of 96,078 miles remains low for a fourteen-year-old vehicle, the MOT test is now overdue as of June 2026, meaning a fresh assessment is required to verify its current condition. Given the absence of any recorded faults in the MOT history, there are no recurring mechanical issues or structural corrosion concerns flagged for targeted inspection. Nevertheless, a physical evaluation should focus on components prone to age-related deterioration rather than mileage wear. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for perishing, and check the brake discs and calipers for any signs of binding or surface corrosion, particularly if the car has been standing for extended periods. Examine the exhaust system for corrosion and verify the structural integrity of the sills and floor pan. Tyre age and tread depth also warrant close scrutiny, as older rubber can degrade even with ample tread remaining.
