2009 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · AG09 FPV

The Skoda Fabia presents a currently roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 15 July 2024 at 233,202 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable across the available history, with the only failures occurring on same-day retests in 2022 and 2023 where the tester logged no defects, indicating administrative or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. No advisories or worn components appear across any test, suggesting the vehicle cleared each examination on compliance alone. Mileage stands at 233,202 on a 2009 car, averaging roughly 13,718 miles per year, which is high for the age and points to sustained motorway or commuter use. The records show 168,038 miles on 8 August 2022, jumping to 204,449 by 14 July 2023, then 233,202 by July 2024. That is about 36,000 miles in year one and 29,000 in year two, well above the lifetime average and confirming heavy recent use. The clean pass sheets at those high mileages imply consumables were addressed to test standard, though no underlying wear was documented. A buyer should still inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness in person, as 233,000 miles will have loaded those parts even without MOT flags. The two same-day fails on 8 August 2022 and 14 July 2023 with zero defects suggest the car may have arrived unprepared or with paperwork gaps; previous owners likely kept it test-compliant but not prophylactically maintained. Given the high mileage and 17-year age, check for structural corrosion on sills and subframes and verify the exhaust emissions system, since the record notes nothing but does not confirm condition below pass threshold. The absence of advisories at this mileage is unusual and warrants a hands-on inspection of drivetrain mounts and steering joints.
