2004 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · LS54 MJY

This 2004 Skoda Fabia presents a clean MOT history with no recorded defects across its recent tests. The most recent result from September 2024 was a pass, following a failed attempt on the same day, which is common for minor adjustments. The vehicle's condition trend appears stable. While there were failures in 2022 and 2024, the lack of recorded defects suggests these were likely minor issues that were rectified immediately to achieve a pass. There is no evidence of a worsening pattern of mechanical decline. The mileage of 95,399 is notably low for a 22-year-old car, averaging only about 4,336 miles per year. This suggests the vehicle has seen light use, but such low annual mileage can also imply long periods of standing still. While this means less wear on the drivetrain and brakes, it can lead to other issues like perished rubber components or seized parts from inactivity. Because the mileage signal is somewhat ambiguous, you must determine if the car has been well-maintained during its periods of inactivity. When inspecting the car in person, your priority should be checking the condition of rubber seals, hoses, and tyres for age-related cracking, and ensuring the engine starts easily and runs smoothly to rule out issues caused by infrequent use.
