2014 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · GD14 KFC

This Skoda Fabia has maintained a clean MOT history since its last test on 2025-12-15 , with no defects or advisories recorded across five consecutive annual tests. The most recent pass confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current UK standards, though the lack of advisories means no proactive maintenance issues were flagged before the test date. The absence of recurring failures suggests consistent upkeep, though the 2023-01-10 double entry —a pass followed immediately by a fail—is unusual and warrants scrutiny, as it implies either a test centre error or a component failing just days after passing inspection. The recorded mileage of 59,914 miles over approximately 12 years equates to an average of 4,993 miles annually , which is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The most significant mileage jump occurs between 2023-01-10 (52,000 miles) and 2024-01-04 (55,000 miles) , a 3,000-mile increase in just 12 months , followed by a slower accumulation to the current figure. This pattern suggests periods of light use or extended storage, which could accelerate wear on fluids, seals, and suspension components if not properly maintained during inactivity. The 18-month gap between 2023 and 2024 tests also raises questions about whether intermediate servicing was performed, particularly for items like brake fluid, timing belt (if applicable), or differential fluid. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension integrity , particularly the rear coil springs and bushes , as these are common wear items on Fabias and often fail without pre-warning. The 2023 double test anomaly hints at potential brake or emission-related issues, so the rear brake binding (a frequent Fabia fault) and exhaust system corrosion should be checked for leaks or rust. Tyre condition is critical—failing twice on tread suggests basic upkeep may have been neglected, so inspect for uneven wear or substandard compounds. Finally, verify structural corrosion around the sills, wheel arches, and underbody, as prolonged low-mileage storage can accelerate rust formation in damp conditions.
