2002 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Petrol · SA02 ANF

The vehicle cleared its most recent MOT on 24 November 2021 at 5,422 miles with a pass and no recorded defects, indicating a road‑worthiness status that remains stable. No failures or advisory items appear in the last three years, and the absence of recurring faults suggests that any wear items have been addressed or remain within acceptable limits. Mileage data present an irregular pattern. The 2020‑11‑17 test recorded 51,021 miles, while the subsequent 2021‑11‑24 test shows a drop to 5,422 miles, a reduction of over 45,000 miles in a single year. Such a discrepancy points to a likely odometer correction, rollback, or recording error rather than genuine low‑use operation. Prior entries from 2019 and 2018 show steady accumulation around 47,000 miles, supporting the view that the vehicle has been driven at a conventional rate for its age, but the recent mileage anomaly raises concerns about the accuracy of the recorded mileage. A prospective buyer should verify the integrity of the braking system, confirming that discs, pads and calipers show no signs of uneven wear or binding that might have been missed in the MOT. Inspection of the suspension bushes, coil springs and any rust on chassis members is advisable, as these components can develop hidden defects despite passing tests. Finally, reconciling the odometer reading with service stamps, tyre wear patterns and any available documentation will help confirm the true mileage and overall condition before purchase.
