2004 Skoda Fabia 1.9L Diesel · AG04 JZL

The Skoda Fabia presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 23 October 2025 at 175,688 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The same-day failure on 23 October 2025 at identical mileage but with no defects listed suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the prior pass on 15 November 2024 at 175,599 miles also carried no advisories. Across the available record the vehicle shows no recurring defects, indicating consistent test outcomes without escalating concerns. The mileage pattern aligns with typical use for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 7,986 miles per year against the recorded 175,688 miles. Between the 31 October 2023 test at 173,926 miles and the 15 November 2024 test at 175,599 miles the car covered only 1,673 miles, implying a period of low usage. From November 2024 to October 2025 the odometer moved just 89 miles, pointing to near-dormant operation in the final year. The 31 October 2023 entry shows a failure at 173,926 miles followed by a pass at 173,927 miles with no defects recorded, again indicating a non-mechanical test anomaly rather than wear-related rejection. Given the clean advisory history and absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues, the MOT record implies previous owners maintained basic test compliance without neglected consumables. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust given the vehicle's age and low recent mileage, as standing periods accelerate corrosion unseen by MOT testers. Verify the same-day fail and pass entries with DVSA to confirm no suppressed defect data before purchase.
