2005 Skoda Fabia 1.9L Diesel · LE02 JOS

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 June 2025 at 133,974 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently secures passes following initial test failures. The pattern of failure in both 2024 and 2025 suggests the previous owners were proactive in rectifying defects flagged by the tester, rather than allowing minor mechanical issues to persist or escalate into major structural failures. At 21 years old, the recorded mileage of 133,974 miles represents an average of approximately 6,380 miles per year. This is consistent with low-to-moderate usage, which typically reduces stress on the drivetrain and engine components compared to high-mile vehicles. Between February 2023 and May 2024, the vehicle covered 3,424 miles, followed by a more active period of 14,410 miles between May 2024 and June 2025. This variation in usage indicates intermittent but regular operation which helps prevent seal degradation and brake corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and undercarriage, as the age of the vehicle makes it susceptible to perished rubber bushes and structural corrosion. While the most recent record shows no defects, the recurring test failures prior to the passes indicate that items such as bulbs, wipers, or exhaust components may require frequent attention. Given the mileage, checking the brake discs for pitting and the condition of the tyres is essential to ensure the lower annual mileage has not led to age-related wear of consumables.
