2004 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · GV54 AFO

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 10 November 2025 at 65,635 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in December 2024 and December 2023 also closed as passes, leaving the vehicle free of outstanding advisories across its recent history. The pattern shows no worsening mechanical faults and no recurring consumable or structural concerns flagged by testers. At roughly 22 years old the car shows 65,635 recorded miles, an average of about 2,983 miles per year, which is low for its age and suggests light use or extended periods off the road. The records confirm gentle accumulation: 57,232 miles on 15 December 2023, 61,643 miles by 12 December 2024, and 65,635 miles by 10 November 2025. Two same-day failures on 15 December 2023 and 11 December 2024 were logged with no defects recorded, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the test centre rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers given the vehicle's age and likely standing periods, as low use can permit corrosion and seized components unseen in a clean MOT sheet. Structural integrity around sills and subframes warrants checks for rust, while exhaust emissions and tyre sidewall condition should be verified despite no advisories being raised. The absent defect history implies prior owners kept the Fabia to a basic pass standard without neglected repeat failures, though the sparse entries limit insight into intermediate wear. Given the 2004 build and low annual mileage, a pre-purchase appraisal by a qualified technician remains sensible before commitment.
