2006 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · KS55 AAX

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend despite its high mileage. In the most recent test on 10 March 2025 at 187,624 miles, the car passed following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests that any mechanical defects identified by the tester were rectified immediately prior to the retest. There are no recorded advisories on the latest certificate, indicating that the vehicle met the minimum safety and emissions standards at the time of inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age and age, averaging approximately 9,381 miles per year. Between March 2023 (177,083 miles) and March 2024 (185,236 miles), the car covered 8,153 miles. The subsequent year between March 2024 and March 2025 saw a further 2,388 miles. This regular, moderate usage is generally beneficial for an older vehicle as it prevents seals from drying out and components from seizing, which often occurs with long periods of stationary storage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, given the vehicle has surpassed the 180,000-mile mark. While the history shows no recurring failures, the high mileage increases the likelihood of wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock several. Because the MOT history reflects a 2006 manufacture, a thorough check for structural integrity along the chassis and sills is necessary to identify any hidden corrosion or rust that may not always be flagged until it becomes significant.
