2012 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Petrol · DF12 JSX

The vehicle presents a stable profile of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean pass record over the last three years. Following a failure in June 2022 at 115,421 miles, the car achieved three consecutive passes with no recorded defects or advisories. The most recent test conducted on 27 June 2025 at 131,189 miles confirms that the mechanical and safety systems currently meet minimum regulatory standards. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a fourteen-year-old small hatchback, averaging approximately 9,400 miles per annum. Between the June 2023 and 2024 tests, the car covered 5,789 miles, while the interval from 2024 to 2025 saw a decrease of 4,567 miles. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used for predictable commuting rather, which often mitigates the risk of component degradation associated with long periods of stationary or high-intensity short trips. While the digital record shows no ongoing mechanical trends, the age and mileage of the vehicle necessitate physical inspection of the undercarriage and suspension components. A buyer should specifically check for signs of corrosion on the exhaust system and structural mounting points, as MOT tests do not flag surface rust until it affects structural integrity. Given the mileage, the state of the suspension bushes, shock absorbers, and brake components should be verified to ensure they are not nearing the end of their functional life despite the clean MOT history.
