2004 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · FN54 XKW

The Skoda Fabia presents a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent test on 26 August 2022 at 86,277 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance history shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available entries, indicating the vehicle was presented in a compliant condition at its last examination. Recorded mileage stands at 86,277 against a 2004 build, equating to roughly 3,922 miles per year and confirming light use for its age. The gap between the 27 August 2021 pass at 81,219 miles and the 2022 pass shows only 5,058 miles added in twelve months. A two-day anomaly appears in August 2021 where the car failed on 25 August at 81,214 miles with no defects listed, then passed on 27 August at 81,219 miles, suggesting an administrative or data-recording issue rather than a genuine mechanical defect. Given the clean test outcomes, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on a 22-year-old vehicle, particularly chassis legs, sills, and subframe mounts where moisture ingress develops over time. Suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc condition warrant physical checks despite no tester advisories, as low-mileage cars often suffer degraded rubber and surface rust from prolonged standing. The absence of flagged wear items such as tyres or wiper blades in the record does not confirm their service life; previous owners may have rectified consumables pre-test without disclosure. Verify the 2021 failure entry with DVSA to rule out omitted defect data before purchase.
