2012 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · SL12 EUO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile having passed its most recent inspection on 9 February 2026 at 94,174 miles. The maintenance trend appears consistent, despite a recurring pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes. In both 2025 and 2026, the vehicle failed the test just one day before the scheduled expiry and passed thereafter, suggesting the previous owner was proactive in addressing minor non-compliance issues immediately once they were flagged by the tester. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a fourteen-year-old Fabia, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per annum. The data shows steady progression from 81,100 miles in January 2024 to 89,385 miles in January 2025, followed by nearly 5,000 miles covered by February 2026. This low rate indicates the car has not been subjected to extreme long-distance wear, which generally preserves the integrity of drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mile vehicles. While the MOT history shows no recorded defects or recurring mechanical failures, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components common to this age and mileage. Given the clean records, the primary concerns remain age-related corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, which often develop before triggering an MOT failure. Checking the rubber bushes in the suspension armatures is also advisable, as low-mileage vehicles can suffer from dry rot regardless of the distance driven.
