2014 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · MJ64 FPE

This is a 2014 Skoda Fabia with just 25,648 miles on the clock, which works out to roughly 2,137 miles per year. That is exceptionally low for a car approaching 12 years old. While this might suggest careful or light use, the MOT history tells a more nuanced story. Very low annual mileage can sometimes indicate long periods of sitting idle, which can bring its own set of problems such as seized components, perishable rubber deterioration, and brake corrosion, even without high mileage wear. The most recent MOT in May 2026 was a pass, but with one advisory noting the offside front tyre was worn close to the legal limit and worn on the edge. This is a notable finding because it is not the first time. In May 2024, the same offside front tyre was flagged for being worn close to the legal limit and worn on the inner edge. This recurring tyre wear pattern on the same corner is something to take seriously. It could point to an underlying alignment or suspension issue that has not been fully resolved, or it could suggest the car has been running on tyres that have not been replaced in good time. Either way, it demands attention.
