2019 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · FN19 WTX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 20 January 2026 at 26,978 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable overall, although the latest test introduced a series of advisories regarding the tyres. The tester flagged all four tyres as slightly damaged, cracking, or perishing, which indicates a deterioration in the rubber quality rather than tread wear. The mileage is exceptionally low for a seven year old car, averaging roughly 3,854 miles per year. The record shows a consistent, low-volume increase in distance, rising from 18,398 miles in February 2022 to 26,978 miles by January 2026. This pattern suggests the car has spent significant periods stationary, which often leads to the specific tyre degradation noted in the most recent inspection. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres. The perishing and cracking mentioned in the January 2026 test are classic symptoms of age-related rubber decay caused by low usage. While the car passed the test, these tyres are nearing the end of their safe operational life and will likely require immediate replacement to ensure grip and prevent sidewall failure. Beyond the tyres, the MOT history is remarkably clean. There are no records of suspension bush failure, brake disc corrosion, or exhaust leaks across the last five tests. The absence of any structural integrity issues or recurring mechanical faults suggests the vehicle has been well preserved, provided the tyres are addressed.
