2018 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · GU68 CFZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 15 September 2025 at 13,411 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite a preliminary failure entry logged on the same day. This anomaly suggests a minor administrative error or a trivial defect that was rectified immediately before the re-test. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without any advisory notices regarding mechanical wear or structural integrity. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,676 miles per year. Between September 2022 at 8,540 miles and September 2023 at 10,049 miles, the car covered 1,509 miles. The usage remained steady through the following years, with 1,688 miles added in the next interval and 1,674 miles leading to the 2024 test at 11,737 miles. This consistent low mileage indicates the vehicle was likely used for short trips or remained stationary for long periods, which reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine but can lead to other issues. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage. Long periods of standing often result in surface corrosion on the brake discs and seized calipers, which may manifest as binding. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking or rubber rot, as the compound degrades over time regardless of the tread depth. While the MOT record shows no history of suspension or exhaust rust, verifying that the chassis remains free of structural corrosion is necessary for a vehicle of this age.
