2021 Skoda Fabia SE Drive TSI S-A 1.0L Petrol · YX71 TCY

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes across all recorded tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 5 August 2025 at 16,485 miles passed without failure, although the tester noted that fitted undertrays and covers prevented a full examination of certain lower components. This suggests the primary mechanical systems remain sound despite the infrequent testing. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,300 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 15,231 miles and the January 2025 test at 16,354 miles, the car covered only 1,123 miles. Such low usage indicates the vehicle was likely used for short urban trips or sat for long periods, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mile examples but can also lead to issues such as flat-spotted tyres or seized brake calipers due to inactivity. Since the MOT record shows no recorded defects, a buyer should focus on the components that were obscured during the August 2025 test. A physical inspection is required to check for early corrosion on the chassis and the condition of the suspension bushes, as the tester could not fully access. Given the low mileage, verify the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the tyres have not suffered from age-related cracking despite ample tread depth.
