2019 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · SB19 EWC

The 2019 Skoda Fabia is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 May 2025 at 17 365 miles with no recorded defects. The preceding failure on 14 May 2025 at 17 362 miles was resolved and retested the following day, indicating a stable maintenance pattern rather than a worsening condition. The two earlier failures in 2023 were similarly rectified promptly, and no recurring faults have appeared in the subsequent passes, suggesting the vehicle’s upkeep has been consistent. Mileage accumulation aligns with a low‑use profile, averaging roughly 2 500 miles per year over the five‑year span from 12 357 miles in May 2023 to 17 365 miles in May 2025. The progression from 12 357 miles to 15 326 miles between May 2023 and May 2024 added 2 969 miles, while the following year added only 2 036 miles, demonstrating a gradual and unremarkable increase. The MOT records are dense, with annual tests and no significant gaps, providing a clear picture of usage. A buyer should inspect the brake system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, given the two recent failures despite no recorded defects; intermittent brake issues often manifest as test failures without visible damage. Suspension components, particularly rear bushes and coil springs, merit close examination for wear, as low‑mileage vehicles can still develop bush deterioration if stored improperly. Check the exhaust for corrosion and the under‑body for rust spots, especially around wheel arches and sills, because standing for extended periods can promote structural corrosion despite low mileage. Finally, assess tyre tread depth and pressure, and verify that wiper blades and consumables have been replaced, as these are common advisories that may not appear in MOT defect logs.
