Jan 2016 apparantly. I'm not sure as yet if there is a service history/invoices.

Yes it seems to have passed every MOT until Jan 2024. It makes me feel like it's been well cared for.

I have been looking around for a basic cheap run around - automatic - but witout much success. There is a 2002 Fabia 1.4 16V Classic 5dr forr sale near me. £2700 (which is overpriced I feel) with 66500 miles on the clock and it says 1 previious keeper. Am I mad to be considering a 24 year old car? I just missed out on a 2013 fabia though I was worried about the DSG gearbox. I used to have sometime ago a 2003 Skoda fabia and loved it. But I'm worried about taking on such a old car. I might add I know next to nothing about cars!
