2004 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · KE04 AEJ

The 2004 Skoda Fabia presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 2026-03-09 at 113,558 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of passes with no advisories or failures. The maintenance trend is steady with no worsening or recurring mechanical faults across the available record. Annual mileage sits well below typical expectations for a 22-year-old vehicle. From the 2022-03-22 test at 109,221 miles to the 2026-03-09 test at 113,558 miles, the car covered just 4,337 miles over four years, averaging roughly 1,084 miles per year. The DVSA data shows no gaps or sudden accumulation; each March test logs incremental low use, confirming light annual running rather than sustained motorway wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of structural integrity and corrosion points beneath the sills, subframes, and suspension mountings, as a clean MOT does not exempt a 2004 chassis from age-related rust. The tester raised no advisories on brake discs, coil springs, or suspension bushes, yet components at this age may degrade through standing rather than mileage. Given the low recorded use, check for perished rubber bushings, flat-spotted tyres from prolonged storage, and stale fluid in the braking and coolant systems. The history implies a cautious previous owner who kept statutory tests current, but the absence of flagged defects offers no guarantee against latent wear invisible to the annual examination.
