2004 Skoda Fabia 1.9L Diesel · FP54 NGG

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 27 January 2024 at 157,658 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The January 2024 test recorded no defects, and prior passes in December 2022 and December 2021 also showed clean results. The vehicle carries a clean advisory sheet throughout, indicating no outstanding mechanical or structural concerns were logged by testers. Mileage progression sits at a typical level for a 22-year-old car, averaging roughly 7,166 miles per year. The odometer moved from 142,091 miles at the December 2021 pass to 149,166 miles in December 2022, then to 157,658 miles by January 2024, reflecting steady annual use of around 7,000 to 8,500 miles. A gap exists between the December 2022 and January 2024 tests spanning just over twelve months, with no intermediate entry, but the recorded distances suggest consistent private motoring rather than fleet or high-stress duty. The two failure entries from January 2024 and December 2021 are notable yet unexplained, as both list no defects recorded against the tests. A fail with zero logged defects typically points to administrative error, a late presentation, or a retest after correction outside the system, rather than a mechanical fault. The owner cleared both within days via a subsequent pass, which implies either prompt resolution or clerical rectification. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody corrosion given the car's age and 157,658 miles. The MOT history shows no advisories on these items, but a 2004 Fabia at this mileage commonly develops worn trailing arm bushes and rear axle rust unseen in a clean test. Verify the January 2024 and December 2021 fail reasons with the test station or VOSA correspondence before purchase.
