2021 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · GF21 HNJ

The vehicle currently presents in a roadworthy state following a clean MOT pass on 27 May 2026 at 51,471 miles. This most recent result indicates an improving maintenance trend compared to the significant failure in early 2024. While the car previously suffered from multiple mechanical and consumable defects, the lack of advisories in the latest inspection suggests that the owner has addressed the outstanding issues and maintained the vehicle to current standards. The mileage progression is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,300 miles per year. The data shows regular annual usage, with an increase of 7,772 miles between the May 2024 and May 2025 tests, and another 7,964 miles between May 2025 and May 2026. This regularity suggests a consistent driving pattern rather than long periods of standing, which generally benefits the health of the rubber components, seals, and engine fluid systems. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the braking system, as the front brake discs were flagged as worn in both the May 2024 failure and the subsequent pass a month later. Although these were noted as not excessively worn, the recurring mention suggests the components may be nearing the end of their service life. The buyer should check for uneven pad wear or vibration in the pedal response. The interior door handle mechanism should also be tested to ensure the previously failed linkage remains functioning correctly, given that the driver's door failed to open from the inside two years ago. The tyres and wipers also merit scrutiny, as the 2024 failure highlighted critical low tread depths on the front tyres and perishing on the nearside rear tyre. While these were likely replaced following the failure, a physical check of the current sidewalls for cracking and depth is necessary to confirm the quality of the replacements. The rear registration plate, which showed signs of deterioration in 2024 and 2025, should be inspected for clarity and secure mounting to avoid future compliance issues.
