2004 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · NL54 WOY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the record indicates a pattern of immediate failures followed by passes. The most recent test on 26 May 2022 at 80,673 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, suggesting the car was in good mechanical condition at that time. Given that this test occurred over four years ago, the vehicle is currently overdue for its annual MOT and requires an immediate inspection to verify its current operational safety after a long period without recorded data. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,667 miles per annum. Between June 2020 at 70,925 miles and June 2021 at 74,766 miles, the car covered only 3,841 miles in a year. This low usage often results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation. The lack of recent testing suggests the vehicle may sit for extended periods, which can lead to dry perish, seized components, and fluid contamination. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and sills, as low-mileage older cars are prone to corrosion that remains hidden by clean mileage. Check the rubber bushings and suspension components for cracking and perish, as these materials degrade over time regardless of distance. Because the car has not been tested since 2022, verify the brakes for binding calipers or rusted discs, and inspect the tyres for flat spots or sidew cracking despite potentially high tread depth.
