2007 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Petrol · FL57 VNO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a remarkably consistent maintenance record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 29 January 2026 at 57,450 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This clean sheet mirrors previous results dating back to 2022, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a high standard and does not suffer from recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. Between January 2022 and January 2026, the car covered only 7,166 miles, moving from 50,284 to 57,450 miles. While low usage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between service periods implied by such low mileage can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown that an MOT test does not fully capture until they fail. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to time-based wear rather than mileage. Given the low mileage, inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking or dry rot and check the shock absorbers for perished rubber boots or leaks. Because the MOT history shows no structural corrosion issues, a thorough check for surface rust on the sills and rear suspension mounting remains necessary, as these are common weak points for this model regardless of distance driven.
