2014 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · FP14 KUX

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT with a clean pass certificate from the test on 16 January 2026 at 34,813 miles, showing no recorded defects. The maintenance trend is stable following the resolution of a single failure in January 2024, with two consecutive passes since that issue was addressed. The 2024 failure was specifically for nearside body damage and incorrect headlamp aim, both of which were subsequently rectified to achieve a pass. Mileage records confirm very low annual usage, consistent with the calculated average of approximately 2,900 miles per year over its 12-year lifespan. The MOT history demonstrates steady, modest accumulation: from 32,730 miles in January 2023 to 34,813 miles in January 2026, an increase of about 2,083 miles over three years. This pattern suggests infrequent or short-distance use rather than neglect, though prolonged periods of inactivity can accelerate degradation of rubber components and promote corrosion in certain conditions. A buyer must prioritise a detailed physical inspection of the nearside front corner, as the 2024 failure for "Nearside Damaged" indicates prior impact or structural compromise. This area requires scrutiny for hidden damage to the wheel arch liner, suspension mounting points, and front subframe integrity. Furthermore, the low mileage usage pattern warrants particular attention to components that suffer from age rather than wear; inspect all rubber suspension bushes and engine/gearbox mounts for perishing, check brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting from disuse, and verify the operation of all calipers for binding. The headlamp aim was once defective, so a professional check of both units' alignment is prudent even if the last test passed.
