2017 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · WD17 ABX

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status at its most recent inspection. The July 2025 MOT at 48,033 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, indicating that the vehicle is currently meeting all regulatory standards. This follows a successful retest in July 2024 after a brief failure, suggesting that any identified mechanical issues were addressed promptly. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2017 model, averaging approximately 5,337 miles per year. The records show steady, incremental growth in mileage, moving from 20,073 miles in July 2020 to 48,033 miles in July 2025. This consistent, low-intensity usage pattern typically results in less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to high-mileage vehicles, though it can sometimes lead to issues related to infrequent use. The only recorded fault occurred during the July 2024 test at 42,863 miles, where the tester flagged rear brake pads measuring less than 1.5 mm thick. This is a standard consumable wear issue rather than a sign of systemic mechanical neglect. Because the subsequent 2025 test showed no defects, the braking system appears to have been correctly serviced and maintained. A prospective buyer should perform a physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the recent pad replacement included a thorough check of the discs for scoring or uneven wear. While the MOT history is exceptionally clean, the low annual mileage warrants a check of the battery health and tyre sidewalls for any signs of age-related perishing or flat-spotting from periods of inactivity.
