2014 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · SA64 WDZ

The 2014 Skoda Fabia presented here is in a stable and roadworthy condition as of its latest MOT test on 2025-07-01, which recorded 11,164 miles with no defects flagged. This was the second consecutive test with a clean pass, following the 2024-07-19 test at 10,254 miles, indicating consistent mechanical integrity over recent years. The vehicle’s mileage accumulation is exceptionally low—just 11,164 miles since new—averaging around 930 miles per year across its 12-year lifespan. There are significant gaps in the MOT record: the jump from 7,093 miles in 2017 to 7,546 miles in 2018, then a further 1,916 miles to 9,462 miles in 2019, before a four-year gap with no tests recorded until 2024. This suggests the car may have spent extended periods unregistered or in storage, particularly between 2019 and 2024, which aligns with the near-stagnant mileage over that period. Given the sparse defect history, no immediate structural or mechanical concerns stand out, but a buyer should still inspect key items prone to degradation during long idle periods: check suspension bushes and mounts for dry-rot or cracking, verify brake calipers and pads for corrosion or binding, and assess tyres for age-related cracking—even if tread depth appears adequate. The exhaust system, especially around mounts and silencer joints, should be examined for rust, as moisture buildup during inactivity can accelerate corrosion. Since no advisories or failures have ever been recorded, the car’s core systems appear well-maintained, but a pre-purchase inspection focusing on these age- and storage-related risks is strongly advised.
