2001 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Petrol · KX51 HDV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 October 2024 at 134,535 miles. This pass followed a failure just three days prior at nearly identical mileage, suggesting a minor mechanical or administrative defect that was rectified immediately before the re-test. The lack of recorded advisories across the last three passing tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components have remained in a satisfactory condition without the typical signs of progressive degradation or recurring failure. At approximately 25 years old, the recorded mileage of 134,535 miles represents an average usage of roughly 5,400 miles per annum. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage patterns with 3,829 miles covered between the 2022 and 2023 tests, and another 3,747 miles between 2023 and 2024. This low mileage typically limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of rubber-based parts perishing or brake components seizing due to periods of relative inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as age-related corrosion is the primary concern for older Skoda models regardless of low mileage. Given the infrequent annual use, inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and check the brake calipers for binding which often occurs over time rather than distance. While the MOT history is clean, a manual check of the fluid condition and tyre sidewalls is necessary to ensure the vehicle has not suffered from long standing periods between the recorded tests.
