2012 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · LG62 AEL

The 2012 Skoda Fabia demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-12-16 at 66,861 miles recording a pass and no defects. Subsequent tests from 2025-01-07 (66,817 miles) and 2024-01-22 (63,874 miles) also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance. While a failed test on 2024-01-22 at the same mileage is noted, no defects were recorded, suggesting either a data anomaly or a non-critical failure. Overall, the vehicle shows no immediate mechanical risks based on the latest records. The vehicle’s mileage of 66,861 miles over 14 years equates to an average of 4,776 miles annually, significantly below the UK’s typical usage. This low mileage may reflect infrequent use or extended periods of inactivity, which can lead to issues like seized components or degraded fluids. Notably, the 2023-01-17 test at 60,153 miles passed without defects, but the gap between that and the 2024-01-22 test (3,721 miles) suggests a prolonged period without inspection, which could mask gradual wear in systems like the exhaust or suspension. A buyer should physically inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion, particularly in the underbody and wheel arches, given the low mileage and potential for stagnant conditions. Suspension components, including bushes and coil springs, warrant scrutiny, as well as the brake system for uneven wear or fluid leaks. While MOT records show no critical failures, the absence of detailed defect reports means a hands-on assessment is essential to confirm the integrity of consumables and structural elements.
