2002 Skoda Fabia 1.9L Diesel · EO02 AFY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data, though the record is significantly outdated. The most recent test in September 2021 at 222,161 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car met minimum safety standards at that specific moment. However, because five years have elapsed since the last recorded MOT, the current mechanical state of the vehicle cannot be verified, and the risk of undiscovered component degradation or corrosion is high. At 222,161 miles over 24 years, this Fabia has averaged approximately 9,257 miles per year, which aligns with typical usage patterns for its age. The mileage history shows consistent annual intervals, with roughly 6,000 miles covered between September 2019 and 2020, and another 3,600 miles between September 2020 and 2021. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle was not left to sit for long periods, but the high cumulative mileage places significant wear and tear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension bushings. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and underbody for structural corrosion, as high mileage on older Skoda models often accelerates rust in the mounting points and sills. Given the lack of testing data since 2021, a professional check of brake lines, leaking shock absorbers, and perished rubber components is essential. The previous failures followed immediately by passes in 2020 and 2021 suggest the previous owner addressed immediate faults to maintain legality, but the current gap in records means any recent mechanical failures or safety risks remain entirely unmonessed.
