2012 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · FT62 NPJ

The Skoda Fabia has a stable maintenance trend, with all tests passing since the 2023 November failure. The most recent test in May 2025 at 73,600 miles confirmed no defects, suggesting the vehicle is currently roadworthy. The November 2023 failure at 67,812 miles, just 49 miles before the subsequent test, was an isolated incident with no defects recorded. This indicates a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical problem. The mileage pattern shows consistent, low annual usage averaging around 5,257 miles per year. The vehicle was tested every six months from November 2022 to November 2023, with a 15-month gap between the November 2023 failure and the May 2024 test. This suggests the owner prioritised annual tests but may have delayed the November 2023 test due to personal circumstances. The low mileage accumulation reflects lighter use or long periods standing, which can help preserve components like suspension bushes and brake discs. A potential buyer should inspect the suspension for signs of wear, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, given the vehicle's age and low mileage. The brakes should be checked for even wear and any signs of corrosion, as the vehicle has accumulated 73,600 miles. The exhaust system should be examined for leaks or excessive wear, and the tyres for even tread and structural integrity. The November 2023 failure suggests a minor administrative issue, but the vehicle's clean MOT history since then indicates no ongoing mechanical problems.
