2009 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · AF59 OEM

The 2009 Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 September 2025 at 36,210 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. Mileage remains exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle. The record shows 31,114 miles in September 2021, rising to 32,807 by October 2022, 33,920 by October 2023, 35,582 by October 2024, and 36,210 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 1,300 miles per year across the logged period. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear; the car saw light, consistent use. Such low annual coverage with no advisories suggests careful, infrequent operation rather than neglect. The absence of any recorded advisories across five successive tests means no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, brake disc, or corrosion issues were flagged by testers. A clean sheet of this length implies previous owners kept the vehicle to a sound standard. Still, a buyer should physically verify underside structural integrity and check for dormant rust on sills and subframes, as long-standing vehicles can hide moisture damage the annual test did not photograph. Prior to purchase, inspect the brake calipers for free movement after prolonged low use, and confirm tyre sidewalls show no perishing from age rather than wear. The drivetrain should be run through all gears to detect any stiffening from disuse. Given the spotless record, mechanical risk reads as low, but in-person checks remain sensible on a car of this vintage.
