2004 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Petrol · AD04 VME

The Skoda Fabia presents a broadly stable roadworthiness picture, with the most recent test on 30 May 2023 at 149,691 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior to that, the 24 May 2022 test at 132,681 miles also passed cleanly. The maintenance trend shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available history, though two failure entries on the same dates as the passes carry no recorded defects, which points to administrative re-tests rather than genuine roadworthiness concerns. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a 2004 vehicle, averaging roughly 6,800 miles per year against the 149,691 miles recorded. The jump from 115,807 miles at the 2 June 2021 test to 132,681 miles by May 2022 shows about 16,900 miles in eleven months, then a further 17,010 miles to the 2023 test. One anomaly appears in the 2022 failure line showing 937,674 miles, which is a clear data-entry error against the passing record and should be discounted. The record is sparse but clean, with no advisories logged for tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion across any test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the vehicle's 22-year age and salt-exposure risk on a Skoda of this era. The absence of advisories does not confirm absence of wear on coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions components. The same-day fail and pass pattern in 2022 and 2023 suggests the previous owner addressed any presentation issue promptly, implying basic upkeep was not neglected at test time. Given the clean MOT trail and ordinary mileage, the Fabia reads as a low-risk used purchase from a documentation standpoint. Verify the true odometer reading against the 937,674-mile anomaly and check for binding calipers or worn suspension bushes that a no-defect test may have overlooked on a light-use example.
