2014 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · N33 VDA

The March 2026 MOT test at 81,199 miles returned a clean pass with no defects, confirming the Skoda Fabia is currently roadworthy. The maintenance trend is stable and positive. The only blemish in the record is a failure in March 2023 at 66,551 miles, but the tester recorded no defects, which likely indicates a minor administrative or lighting issue that was corrected within five days for a subsequent pass. Every other annual test shows a consistent pattern of defect-free results, suggesting diligent upkeep. The recorded mileage of 81,199 miles over 12 years equates to roughly 6,767 miles per year, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. The annual mileage between tests is steady, with an average of about 4,800 miles per year from 2023 to 2026. This moderate usage implies the car has not been subjected to excessive wear from high-mileage driving, though it also means components may have aged more from time than distance. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should still inspect typical wear items for a 12-year-old car. Examine suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or corrosion, as these are common failure points on the Fabia. Check brake discs for lipping and calipers for binding. Also, assess the underbody for structural corrosion, particularly around suspension mounting points and sills. The exhaust system should be checked for leaks or corrosion, and ensure the emissions system is sound. A thorough test drive is advisable to verify steering, braking, and clutch operation.
