2014 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · YR14 UOY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile despite a history of immediate failures. The most recent test conducted on 26 August 2025 at 55,215 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one mile prior. This suggests that while minor issues may have triggered the initial failure, the owner proactively addressed the necessary repairs immediately to achieve compliance. The lack of recurring advisories across the last three tests indicates a vehicle that remains in good mechanical condition regarding regulatory standards. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,600 miles per year. Data from the 44,200-mile mark in November 2023 to the 55,215-mile mark in August 2025 shows an increase in usage, yet it remains well below the national average. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or fluid breakdown. The clean record does not show any signs of aggressive driving or heavy commercial use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age and low-mileage operation rather than high-mileage wear. Inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perish, as these materials can degrade over time regardless of distance driven. Since the record shows failures followed by immediate passes without listed defects, the issues were likely minor items like bulbs, wipers, or minor leaks that were quickly rectified. Check the structural integrity for surface corrosion on the sills and exhaust system to ensure the low-use history has not masked hidden rust common in damp environments.
