2003 Skoda Fabia 1.9L Diesel · AE03 KWN

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 25 April 2025 at 140,701 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, showing clean passes in the latest two cycles and no outstanding advisories. The owner cleared the test without mechanical or structural faults at 23 years of age. Annual mileage sits at a modest 6,117 miles against the vehicle's age, confirmed by the odometer climbing from 136,634 miles on 8 March 2023 to 138,861 miles by 18 June 2024, then 140,701 miles by April 2025. The record is sparse but clean between tests, with only a failed-and-repassed same-day sequence on 18 June 2024 and again on 8 March 2023 where the tester logged no defects. Such paired fail-pass entries with zero faults suggest administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than component failure. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the car's 2003 build date and 140,000-mile accumulation. The MOT data flags no binding calipers, worn brake discs, or exhaust emissions breaches, yet 23 years of UK winter road salt can compromise structural integrity beneath clean test sheets. Verify the V5C and confirm whether the same-day failures stemmed from documentation rather than concealed defects. The low yearly use implies light urban running, which suits bush and brake longevity but can encourage underbody rust through short, damp journeys.
