2004 Skoda Fabia 1.9L Diesel · YK04 AGD

The 2025‑10‑02 MOT at 85,176 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the vehicle’s current condition meets the DVSA’s roadworthiness standards and that the maintenance trend remains stable, with no recurring failures evident in the recent history. The mileage profile shows a relatively low annual usage of roughly 3,872 miles per year for a 22‑year‑old 2004 model, suggesting limited recent driving; however, the jump from 80,805 miles in October 2024 to 85,176 miles in October 2025 represents an increase of 4,371 miles in a single year, implying a modest rise in usage that should be verified against the vehicle’s wear patterns. A buyer should focus on the mechanical components that have historically shown vulnerability: inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, examine the brake discs and calipers for scoring or uneven wear, and check the structural integrity of the chassis and wheel arches for any signs of corrosion or rust that could compromise safety. Finally, while the MOT record lists no defects, a physical inspection should also cover tyre tread depth, wiper blade condition, and the overall state of the exhaust system, as these consumables often reveal the true level of vehicle care and can highlight any hidden issues not captured in the official test results.
