2017 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · OU17 RXA

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-09-11 at 67,851 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the absence of records between 2022-09-20 (45,721 miles) and 2023-09-13 (52,452 miles) suggests a potential gap in testing, though the subsequent tests from 2023 to 2025 show consistent passing results. The 2024-09-11 test, which failed despite no defects recorded, raises questions about the accuracy of the assessment, but no recurring issues were flagged in later evaluations. Overall, the vehicle appears to have been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements, with no significant mechanical or structural concerns documented. The mileage of 67,851 miles over nine years equates to an average of 7,539 miles annually, aligning with typical usage for this age. The progression from 45,721 miles in 2022 to 67,851 miles in 2025 shows steady accumulation without abrupt spikes, suggesting consistent operation. However, the lack of detailed defect reports in the 2024-09-11 test—despite a failure—limits insight into potential underlying issues. The absence of advisories or critical failures in the most recent tests implies no urgent mechanical risks, though the sparse data from 2022 to 2023 warrants closer scrutiny. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly bushes and coil springs, for wear given the vehicle’s age, and check the brake system for uneven disc wear or caliper binding, which could affect stopping performance. The exhaust system and corrosion in body panels, especially in high-mileage vehicles, should also be assessed. While the MOT history shows no major faults, the 2024 failure without defects highlights the importance of a physical inspection to confirm the vehicle’s condition and ensure no unresolved issues were overlooked.
