2009 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · AG09 CVB

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 20 October 2025 at 167,102 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the last three years. The October 2025 pass came six days after a failure on 14 October 2025 at 167,093 miles, though the tester logged no defects on either entry. A near-identical pattern occurred in 2024, where a failure on 8 October 2024 at 161,743 miles was followed the same day by a pass at 161,753 miles, again with no defects recorded. These paired failure-pass entries with zero advisories suggest administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical fault, and no worsening condition is evident in the data. The odometer shows 167,102 miles against a 2009 build date, equating to roughly 9,830 miles per year and matching typical use for a seventeen-year-old vehicle. Annual accumulation stayed modest: 155,360 miles in November 2023 rose to 161,753 miles by October 2024, then 167,102 miles by October 2025, giving about 5,400 to 5,800 miles per twelve-month period. The record is sparse, with only three pass results and two zero-defect failures across two years, so no rapid accumulation or long-standing gaps surface from the figures. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and corrosion on sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points, as the MOT history carries no advisories that would confirm or deny such condition on this high-mileage hatchback. The brake discs, calipers, and suspension bushes warrant hands-on checks despite clean test outcomes, given the age and 167k mileage load. The repeated same-day failure-then-pass cycles with no defects logged imply the previous owner addressed paperwork promptly but the record itself offers no evidence of skipped consumable upkeep such as tyres or wiper blades.
