2004 Skoda Fabia 1.9L Diesel · AE04 DRX

The 2004 Skoda Fabia presents a stable roadworthiness trend with no recorded defects across its three most recent MOT tests. The latest examination on 21 December 2022 at 160,727 miles returned a clean pass, matching the two prior passes in November 2022 at 159,831 miles and November 2021 at 157,228 miles. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, advisories, or repeated failures in the supplied record. Annual mileage sits at roughly 7,300 miles, typical for a 22-year-old car. Between the November 2021 test and November 2022 test the odometer advanced only 2,603 miles, then climbed 896 miles to the December 2022 pass three weeks later. The sparse three-entry history offers no evidence of rapid accumulation or standing gaps, though the absence of older tests limits long-term wear judgement. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the age and 160,000-mile use. The clean MOT record means no tester flagged corrosion, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions issues, but DVSA tests do not strip components. Check underneath for structural rust on sills and subframes, and verify tyre condition and wiper function despite no advisories logged. Previous owners kept the Fabia to a basic pass standard with no deferred consumable faults across the seen period. That suggests reasonable if unremarkable care, yet the thin history gives little insight before 2021. Treat the clean sheets as a baseline, not a guarantee of hidden drivetrain or steering wear at this mileage.
