2017 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · M800 AAC

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 39,165 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 24 June 2024 at 36,996 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across its five-year MOT span, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. Recorded mileage sits at 39,165 miles against a 2017 registration, equating to roughly 4,352 miles per year. The June 2023 test logged 34,537 miles, rising to 31,438 miles in June 2022, then 36,996 miles by June 2024 and 39,165 by June 2025. This low annual accumulation points to light use or extended standing periods rather than sustained motorway wear. The single anomaly is the 24 June 2024 entry showing both a fail and a pass at identical mileage with no defects cited, a likely administrative reversal rather than a genuine mechanical rejection. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake disc wear, corrosion, or exhaust emission failures, the history implies previous owners maintained basic statutory care. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity beneath sills and subframes, as nine years of potential damp standing can conceal rust not visible during a pass-only test. Verify the brake calipers and coil springs move freely, since low mileage cars often suffer seized components through inactivity rather than fatigue. The clean record offers reassurance but does not substitute for a pre-purchase examination of consumable tyres and wiper blades, which rot with age irrespective of miles. Confirm service intervals were honoured outside the MOT scope, as the DVSA data captures only test-day condition, not intermediate lubrication or timing belt status.
