2014 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · LS14 KVB

The 2014 Skoda Fabia presents a stable and well-maintained roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 25 March 2026 at 62,930 miles passed cleanly with zero defects, a result mirrored in the March 2025 pass at 60,446 miles. Two failed tests appear in the record, both immediately followed by a pass on the same mileage, indicating minor issues were rectified promptly rather than neglected. The maintenance trend is firmly stable, with no recurring defects or emerging mechanical concerns over the last three years. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of consistent, light use. The vehicle accumulated roughly 2,484 miles between March 2025 and March 2026, and 2,873 miles between March 2024 and March 2025. At approximately 5,244 miles per year over its twelve-year life, this is well below the UK average. Such low annual mileage typically reduces wear on drivetrain and braking components, though prolonged periods of inactivity can introduce its own risks, particularly with tyre perishing, brake surface corrosion, and stale fuel. The MOT record is notably sparse, with no advisories or failures flagged across any test. This suggests the previous owner kept on top of routine servicing and consumable replacements. The two failed tests in 2024 and 2025, both at identical mileages to their subsequent passes, point to minor rectifications rather than systemic faults. No suspension, braking, or structural issues have ever been noted by any tester. Despite the clean paperwork, a buyer should still inspect the tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking, given the low mileage and twelve-year age. Check the brake discs and pads for surface corrosion from standing periods, and examine the underside for any early signs of corrosion on suspension components or exhaust mounting points. The clean MOT history is encouraging, but a physical inspection remains essential to confirm the vehicle matches its paper record.
