2011 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · SM11 URN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in July 2025 at 24,279 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement following a failure in mid-2024. While the most recent test noted only minor cosmetic issues regarding discoloured indicator lenses, the previous history indicates a period of mechanical neglect related to the braking and suspension systems that has since been addressed to achieve a clean pass. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,600 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, low-use pattern with only 3,225 miles covered between the July 2022 and July 2025 tests. This low usage typically suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber components and surface corrosion due to the vehicle sitting for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and exhaust assembly. The records from 2023 and 2024 repeatedly flagged pitted and scored brake discs along with deteriorating exhaust components, which are common on low-mileage cars where heat cycles insufficient to prevent rust. The fractured offside front coil spring noted in 2024 necessitates a thorough check of the remaining suspension springs for signs of fatigue or heavy corrosion. Additionally, the non-excessive oil leak reported in 2023 should be monitored to ensure it has not progressed into a more significant seal failure.
