2014 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · DV14 FSJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in March 2026 at 48,203 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This sustained streak of clean certificates indicates that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a high standard, with no mechanical or structural failures being flagged during the annual DVSA testing process. The mileage profile is notably low for a twelve-year-old car, averaging approximately 4,000 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 21,385 miles and March 2026 at 48,203 miles, the car covered 26,818 miles. This pattern suggests light urban use, which typically results in less wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking system. However, such low annual mileage can sometimes mask age-related degradation of rubber-based components rather than mileage-based wear. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to time and long periods of stationary use. A buyer should check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers for signs of cracking or perished, as low mileage does not prevent rubber components from hardening. The brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when vehicles are driven infrequently. Additionally, the structural integrity of the chassis should be verified for any early-stage rust to ensure the low mileage has not led to neglected underbody protection in sills or wheel arches.
