2004 Skoda Fabia 1.9L Diesel · FM04 DFU

The 2004 Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 May 2025 at 154,627 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior passes from 2021 to 2024 also show clean sheets. No advisories or recurring mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating the vehicle has not displayed worsening condition in the test data. Mileage sits at a typical level for a 22-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,028 miles per year. The record moves from 127,826 miles at the failed September 2021 test to 154,627 miles by May 2025, a gain of about 26,801 miles over three and a half years. A gap exists between the September 2022 pass at 132,365 miles and the January 2024 pass at 144,484 miles, where no 2023 test appears, but annual distances remained modest. The clean record across these dates suggests consistent if unremarkable use rather than heavy commercial duty. The only blemish is the failure on 20 September 2021 at 127,826 miles, which listed no defects recorded, implying an administrative or presentational issue rather than a mechanical fault, with a pass secured four days later. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions problems, the previous owner appears to have kept basic upkeep current. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the car's age and 154,627 miles. Check coil springs, binding calipers, and tyre condition in person, as these consumable and structural items fall outside MOT advisories when unrecorded but degrade with time. The sparse history offers no evidence of neglected repairs, yet age alone warrants hands-on verification.
