2006 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · CV06 AEK

The 2006 Skoda Fabia with 135,570 miles demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, as evidenced by its most recent MOT on 2025-04-28 at 135,570 miles, which passed with no defects. The prior three tests from 2021 to 2023 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2022-08-03 at 112,333 miles—despite no recorded defects—suggests potential procedural or technical discrepancies, though this does not directly impact the vehicle’s current condition. Overall, the absence of recurring faults in the last four tests implies the car has been well-maintained in recent years. The vehicle’s mileage of 135,570 miles over 20 years equates to an average of 6,778 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for its age. The MOT records show regular testing intervals, with the longest gap between 2021-07-20 (104,580 miles) and 2022-08-03 (112,335 miles), a 10,755-mile increase over 13 months. This suggests moderate, steady usage without abrupt spikes. The lack of significant mileage fluctuations or extended periods without testing further supports the conclusion of routine care, though the 15-month gap since the last MOT in 2025-04-28 may warrant closer scrutiny for potential undetected issues. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are common wear points in older vehicles. The absence of brake-related defects in recent tests does not preclude a detailed check of caliper binding or disc warping, as these can develop gradually. Corrosion, especially on the chassis and underbody, should also be assessed, as it often affects older models. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, the car’s age and mileage necessitate a thorough mechanical examination to confirm the integrity of its structural and drivetrain components.
