2002 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Petrol · EO02 AFN

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, showing a stable maintenance trend despite its age. The most recent inspection on 12 November 2025 at 100,385 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure on the same day. This suggests the owner is proactive in rectifying immediate issues to maintain a valid certificate. The history indicates that the car has consistently met the minimum safety standards over the last three testing cycles. The mileage profile is notably low for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,183 miles per year. Between November 2023 and November 2024, the car covered 12,094 miles, while the subsequent year saw a significant drop in usage with only 20,767 miles recorded. This low annual mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though long periods of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown. The data remains clean without any erratic mileage spikes. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as older Skoda Fabias are prone to corrosion that may not always be captured in a standard MOT test. Given the low usage, check the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or perished caused by age rather than distance. The failures in 2023 and 2025 without specific defects listed in the summary likely indicate minor consumable failures like light bulbs or minor fluid leaks that were quickly addressed before retesting. Ensure the brake discs show no signs of surface pitting, which is common on vehicles that are infrequently driven.
