2015 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · YA65 AEJ

The 2015 Skoda Fabia’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-17 at 35,073 miles recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend from 2023 to 2025 shows consistent roadworthiness, though two failed tests in 2024 and 2023 at identical mileages (30,259 and 24,417) without recorded defects suggest potential administrative errors or unresolved minor issues. No structural, brake, or suspension failures were flagged in the valid tests, indicating the vehicle has met baseline safety standards. The car’s mileage of 35,073 over 11 years equates to approximately 3,188 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for its age. This low usage could imply infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like rubber seals, belts, or battery health. The MOT intervals align with standard annual testing, with no gaps exceeding 12 months, suggesting routine compliance. However, the absence of detailed defect reports in failed tests limits insight into potential underlying issues. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs, as low mileage can mask wear in these areas. The lack of corrosion or structural defects in passed tests is reassuring, but the repeated failed MOTs without explanations warrant scrutiny. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks, check brake pedal responsiveness, and assess tyre tread depth, as these are common failure points in older vehicles with irregular usage patterns.
