2008 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Petrol · YH08 WOU

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 23 January 2026 at 122,664 miles passed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting the car has been kept in a state of repair that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's age. Between January 2023 and January 2026, the odometer rose from 102,490 to 122,664 miles, averaging roughly 6,724 miles per year. This steady usage suggests the car has avoided long periods of standing, which typically reduces the risk of seized brake calipers or perished rubber seals. A brief failure on 30 January 2025 was resolved within six days, indicating a prompt response to any identified issues. Despite the clean MOT record, the age and mileage of this Skoda Fabia necessitate a targeted physical inspection. The absence of advisories is positive, but the records do not account for preventative maintenance. A buyer should specifically check for corrosion on the chassis and sills, as structural rust often develops regardless of MOT outcomes on vehicles from this era. Inspect the condition of the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of fatigue or cracking. While the tester flagged no defects, components at 122,000 miles often show wear that does not yet trigger a failure but will require imminent replacement. Checking the service history for timing belt and water pump intervals is essential, as these are critical failure points not covered by a standard MOT inspection.
