2021 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · DF21 ABK

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 17 November 2025 at 43,697 miles, with the maintenance trend stable across its recorded history. The vehicle cleared every test that recorded a result, and no advisories or defects appear on any certificate. Two earlier failures dated 10 November 2023 at 19,375 miles and 17 November 2025 at 43,696 miles show no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. The owner corrected these within days, securing passes on 20 November 2023 and 17 November 2025 respectively. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a five-year-old car. The record shows 19,377 miles in November 2023, rising to 31,769 miles by November 2024, then 43,697 miles by November 2025. That equates to roughly 12,400 miles in the first interval and 11,900 in the second, both above the 8,739-mile yearly average implied by the total. The clean pass sheets at each stage suggest the previous keeper kept basic servicing current and addressed test requirements promptly. Sparse defect data limits deep wear analysis, but the absence of flagged items points to light mechanical neglect. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and accumulated miles. The MOT record logs no corrosion or structural integrity concerns, yet standing periods between the 2023 and 2024 tests cannot be ruled out from mileage alone. Verify the tyre tread depth and wiper condition visually, as these consumables fall outside MOT failure thresholds until worn. Confirm with the seller why the two zero-defect failures occurred, since repeated test rejections hint at paperwork or identification slips rather than workshop standards.
