2017 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · DF17 ACJ

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 31 December 2025 at 117,468 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend reads as stable across the available history, though the test one day earlier on 30 December 2025 produced a fail at 117,391 miles with no defects listed, a pattern consistent with an administrative or retest anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior passes in December 2023, December 2022, and December 2021 also logged no advisories or defects. The mileage data shows irregular accumulation against the vehicle's nine-year age. The December 2021 test recorded 84,224 miles, yet the December 2022 entry shows 147,529 miles, an implausible 63,305-mile jump within twelve months that suggests a recording error at one of those tests. From the corrected 101,366 miles in December 2023 the car covered 16,102 miles to reach the December 2025 figure, a plausible annual rate near the 13,052-mile average. The sparse, clean record gives little insight into consumable replacement cycles. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc wear given the high overall mileage and unknown service intervals. The absence of advisories across five tests does not confirm structural integrity beneath the sills or subframes, so corrosion checks on load-bearing panels remain prudent. The unexplained 2022 mileage spike warrants verification of the odometer and V5C before purchase.
