2014 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · SM63 VDF

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 26 January 2026 at 28,272 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows two failures on the same day as the passes in both January 2026 and January 2025, the absence of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or minor issues resolved instantly during the test. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twelve year old car, averaging roughly 2,356 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between 30 January 2025 and 26 January 2026, where the odometer rose from 18,880 to 28,272 miles. This indicates the car has been used far more intensively in the last year than in the previous decade. The clean MOT history suggests a well-preserved vehicle, but the low overall mileage and periods of light use raise specific concerns. A buyer should check for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which can crack from age regardless of mileage. The sudden increase in annual mileage means the current state of the engine oil and brake fluid should be verified to ensure they were changed to accommodate the increased load. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as cars that stand for long periods often suffer from seized calipers or rusted discs. Check for any signs of rodent damage to the wiring looms, a common issue for low-mileage vehicles stored in garages or sheds. Given the lack of recorded faults, the primary focus should be on age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear.
