2008 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · DA08 FHD

The Skoda Fabia passed its most recent MOT on 21 October 2024 at 103,402 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend appears stable across the supplied history. The vehicle carries a clean test record at its final pass, though two earlier failures on 14 October 2024 at 103,132 miles and 10 October 2023 at 87,952 miles show no defects logged, indicating administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical faults. Annual mileage sits at roughly 5,745 miles per year against an 18-year-old vehicle, which is low for the age. The records show 80,832 miles in October 2022, 87,956 at the October 2023 pass, and 103,402 by October 2024, a jump of over 15,000 miles in the final year that breaks the prior low-use pattern. Such a shift from light to heavier use in the last twelve months before sale warrants scrutiny of components subjected to the increased load. The sparse MOT data flags no advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody condition, as the DVSA record offers no visibility of latent rust or worn consumables absent from the tester's notes. Given the two zero-defect failures and the clean final certificate, previous keepers likely maintained basic test compliance but the abrupt mileage rise in 2024 suggests the car exited a period of standing or gentle use. Verify service history and check for binding calipers or degraded tyres from any prolonged storage before purchase.
