2012 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · FR12 AEC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing results. The most recent test on 16 June 2025 at 56,936 miles returned no recorded defects or advisories, indicating the car currently meets the minimum legal standards. This follows two years of clean records in 2024 and 2023, suggesting that the owner has maintained the vehicle sufficiently to avoid recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 14-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,067 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 50,287 miles and June 2025 at 56,936 miles, the car covered only 6,649 miles. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, such long intervals between use can lead to the degradation of rubber components. The single failure on 12 June 2023 at 52,641 miles, followed by a pass just three days later, indicates a minor issue that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical failure. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than distance. Because the car has sat frequently, check the tyres for perished rubber or cracking sidewalls and inspect the suspension bushes for signs of drying over time. Examine the brake discs for corrosion or seized calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust. Additionally, verify the chassis for structural rust to ensure the frame integrity remains sound despite the low mileage figures.
