2022 Skoda Fabia Colour Edition TSI 1.0L Petrol · FN72 TPU

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 14 October 2025 with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates a stable maintenance trend and suggests that the vehicle is currently meeting the minimum legal roadworthiness standards without any immediate mechanical concerns identified by the DVSA inspector. Given the lack of any recorded failures or warnings, the vehicle appears to have been kept in good order and has not yet reached a stage of wear that necessitates corrective action. The recorded mileage of 13,234 miles over approximately four years is significantly lower than the UK national average, averaging roughly 3,308 miles per year. While low mileage generally implies reduced wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension components, it also suggests the vehicle may have spent extended periods stationary. This usage profile shifts the mechanical risk from high-mileage wear and tear to issues associated with inactivity, which can affect various rubber components and fluid integrity. Due to the low annual usage, a prospective buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the tyres. Even if the tread depth is sufficient, tyres can perish or develop sidewall cracking over time, particularly if the vehicle has been stored in sunlight or remained stationary for long intervals. It is also essential to inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting. Low-mileage vehicles are prone to binding calipers or seized sliders due to a lack of regular movement, which can lead to uneven brake pad wear or a shuddering sensation during braking on a test drive. Attention must be paid to calendar-based maintenance rather than mileage-based intervals. The buyer should verify the service history to ensure oil and filter changes have occurred annually, as engine oil degrades over time regardless of distance travelled. The health of the 12V battery should be checked, as infrequent short trips or long periods of standing can lead to premature battery failure. Finally, ensure all rubber seals and wiper blades remain supple and effective, as these components often degrade faster on low-use vehicles than those in regular daily service.
