2005 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Petrol · AE05 TMU

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy on the most recent test, with a clean pass recorded on 17 March 2025 at 61,963 miles showing no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual test from 2022 through 2025 returning a pass with no advisories or faults logged. A failed entry on 17 March 2025 at the same mileage carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by the passing certificate on the same day. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a 21 year old vehicle. The odometer moved from 52,373 miles at the 2 March 2022 test to 53,202 miles by 31 March 2023, then 57,536 miles on 26 March 2024, and 61,963 miles on 17 March 2025. That equates to roughly 2,950 miles per year against the vehicle's age. No rapid accumulation or suspicious gaps appear in the record, and the clean sweep of tests with zero advisories suggests the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance, though the low annual distance also implies long standing periods between use. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers, as the MOT record logs no advisories that would reveal age related corrosion or perished rubber hidden by short test drives. Low mileage cars left standing often develop seized handbrake mechanisms, flat spotted tyres, and subframe rust not captured in a pass result. The absence of recorded faults across five years is reassuring but does not substitute for underside checks on a 2005 chassis now over two decades old.
