2022 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · HT71 SZU

The 2022 Skoda Fabia remains roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed when the DVSA tester passed the car on 19 January 2026 at 21,822 miles and recorded no defects or advisories. The earlier test on 31 January 2025 at 16,601 miles likewise returned a clean pass. Two consecutive fault-free examinations show the vehicle has needed no mechanical rectification. Odometer readings reveal restrained use for a four-year-old hatchback. The car covered only 5,221 miles between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests, averaging roughly 5,456 miles per year since 2022. The MOT history contains just two entries, both pristine, suggesting light commuting or long stationary spells. No erratic mileage jumps disrupt the annual record. Prospective buyers should still scrutinise components vulnerable to low-use deterioration despite the absent advisory list. The tester flagged no issues with suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, binding calipers, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion, but inactivity often conceals perished tyres and sluggish calipers. A workshop inspection of underbody for rust, tyre sidewalls for cracking, and a driven check for free brake release is sensible. The clean passes imply the previous keeper observed statutory testing, yet physical verification protects against hidden age-related wear.
