2014 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · HN14 OGH

The 2014 Skoda Fabia presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test, conducted on 2026-06-10 at 16,331 miles, passed with zero defects recorded. This marks three consecutive fully clean certificates, indicating a stable and improving maintenance trend. The vehicle has transitioned from a period of minor advisories to a current state of defect-free compliance, suggesting attentive recent ownership. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle. Between the 2025-06-17 test at 16,326 miles and the 2026-06-10 test at 16,331 miles, the car covered just five miles in twelve months. Prior to that, the 2024-06-18 test recorded 16,080 miles, meaning only 246 miles were added over the following year. This ultra-low annual accumulation of roughly 1,361 miles per year since new raises the possibility of prolonged stationary periods. Extended sitting can cause flat-spotted tyres, brake disc surface corrosion, and dried-out rubber seals, even if the mileage itself looks appealing. Despite the low mileage, the 2023-05-24 test at 15,772 miles flagged both front brake discs worn, pitted or scored, alongside a corroded exhaust. These advisories point to genuine use-related wear and environmental corrosion rather than neglect. A prospective buyer should physically inspect the front braking system for disc thickness and scoring, and check the exhaust system for through-corrosion, particularly around joints and mounting points. The 2022-05-13 test at 15,640 miles noted a cut in the offside front tyre, so a thorough tyre inspection for age-related perishing and sidewall damage is essential, even if tread depth appears adequate. Given the recent clean pass, a brief road test to confirm no brake drag or suspension noise from long stationary periods would provide final reassurance.
