2008 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · ST57 UNR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a worsening state of structural and mechanical degradation. While it passed its most recent test on 16 May 2026 at 162,056 miles, the record reveals a pattern of failing on multiple defects that require immediate rectification. The persistent presence of corrosion on brake pipes and suspension components across several years suggests that the owner is only addressing faults when forced by an MOT failure rather than performing preventative anti-related maintenance. At 162,056 miles, this eighteen-year-old Fabia has averaged approximately 9,000 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for its age. The data shows steady accumulation, with 10,640 miles covered between May 2024 and May 2025, and another 12,006 miles in the final year. This consistent mileage indicates the car is used regularly, which likely explains the gradual wear on rubber bushes and the developing surface corrosion noted throughout the history. A buyer must closely inspect the structural integrity of the outer sills, as records show a progression from undersealed repairs in 2024 to active corrosion by 2026. The recurring mention of corroded rear brake pipes is a significant concern, as these lines are prone to sudden failure if the oxidation is masked rather than replaced. Additionally, the front wishbone bushes and rear axle bushes have been flagged as worn for three consecutive years, indicating the suspension is nearing the end of its functional life and will soon require comprehensive replacement to maintain handling stability.
