2018 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · FM18 XPB

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 20 January 2026 at 27,540 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend over the last five years, suggesting that the vehicle has been well-maintained without mechanical failures or structural degradation that typically trigger MOT advisories. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,442 miles annually. Between November 2021 at 14,057 miles and January 2026 at 27,540 miles, the car covered 13,483 miles, confirming a pattern of light usage. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it can occasionally lead to secondary issues if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. The consistent intervals between tests suggest the car remains in use regularly enough to keep basic systems in in working order. Given that the record shows no recurring mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage over time. Inspect the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking, as rubber degrades with age regardless of tread depth. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when infrequent use prevents the pads from clearing the metal. Additionally, examine the suspension rubberwork and bushes for cracking to ensure the age of the vehicle has not caused the material to become brittle.
