2004 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · EX54 TKA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent clean pass record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 17 October 2023 at 80,287 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This consistency mirrors the results from 2019 through 2022, suggesting that the previous owners maintained the car to a standard that avoided immediate mechanical or structural failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle. With a total of 80,287 miles, the car has averaged approximately 3,649 miles per year. Between October 2019 and October 2023, the vehicle covered only 2,478 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long periods of stationary time. While this low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it often invites issues with the degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid chemistry due to atmospheric age rather than mechanical friction. Because the MOT history shows no recorded mechanical faults, a physical inspection must focus on age-related degradation rather than mileage-based wear. A buyer should specifically check for perished suspension bushes, split rubber hoses, and dry-rotted tyres which frequently affect low-use vehicles. Given the vehicle's age, the structural integrity of the chassis and sills requires a close examination for hidden corrosion, as the MOT test only identifies rust once it has reached a threshold of structural weakness.
