2021 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · GL21 LLU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 26 March 2026 at 23,476 miles which passed with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears consistent, as the car has successfully cleared all issues identified in previous years. The absence of advisories in the latest inspection suggests that the vehicle is currently in a good mechanical state regarding its safety and emissions standards. The mileage remains low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per annum. Between the April 2024 test at 18,470 miles and the April 2025 test at 21,275 miles, the car covered only 2,805 miles. This low usage suggests short urban trips, which reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components but can sometimes expose rubber-based parts to age-related degradation rather than mileage-related wear. The only recorded fault in the history occurred during the April 2025 test, where the tester flagged the front tyres for signs of cracking or perishing on both sides. This is a common symptom of low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods, as the rubber dries out over time regardless of tread depth. While this was resolved before the 2026 pass, a buyer should inspect the current sidewalls of the tyres for any new cracking to ensure they have not aged prematurely. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection should focus on the condition of the brake discs for corrosion, which often occurs when vehicles are not used frequently. It is also prudent to check the suspension bushes and rubber seals for cracking, as these components are sensitive to age. The lack of structural issues or recurring mechanical failures indicates the vehicle has been well-maintained despite its infrequent use.
