2002 Skoda Fabia 1.9L Diesel · GJ02 ADO

The Skoda Fabia passed its most recent MOT on 25 April 2022 at 191,744 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it roadworthy on paper at that time. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available record, with no advisories or mechanical faults flagged in any test. However, the last test sits over four years before today's date, so the current condition is unverified by MOT data. The odometer climbed from 175,797 miles at the April 2020 pass to 181,933 miles by April 2021, then to 191,744 miles by April 2022. That equates to roughly 8,000 miles per year, consistent with typical use for a 24-year-old vehicle. The record is sparse, covering only three pass years with two failed attempts that listed no defects, suggesting the failures were administrative rather than mechanical. The April 2022 and 2021 failures at identical mileages to the subsequent passes, with no defects noted, point to documentation or presentation issues rather than worn components. Still, at 191,744 miles the buyer must inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion in person. A 2002 Fabia of this age and mileage will likely show structural rust and tired damping elements even if the MOT stayed clean. Given the four-year gap since the last test, the vehicle requires a fresh mechanical inspection before purchase. Prior owners kept the consumable wear beneath MOT failure thresholds, but no evidence exists of proactive upkeep beyond statutory testing.
