2009 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · DA59 AOD

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, based on the most recent DVSA test on 19 October 2023 at 134,958 miles which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The vehicle cleared its annual examination without advisories on worn consumables or mechanical faults. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical rate for a 2009 registered car, averaging roughly 7,939 miles per year across its 17 year life. The record shows 122,760 miles at the 22 October 2021 test, rising to 128,016 miles by 17 October 2022 and 134,958 miles by the October 2023 pass, a steady annual increase of around 6,000 miles with no abrupt jumps or long dormant periods. The MOT history is sparse and clean, with only four entries and no advisories or recorded defects across the visible period. A notable anomaly appears in the October 2023 sequence where the car failed on 18 October 2023 at 134,955 miles yet passed one day later at 134,958 miles with no defects logged on either certificate. This suggests the failure stemmed from an administrative or documentation discrepancy rather than a mechanical defect, though a buyer should confirm the reason for the rejected test with the DVSA. Given the absence of flagged suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions issues in the record, no recurring fault trend exists to warn of. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity, underbody rust, and binding calipers given the vehicle's age and 134,958 mile accumulation, as MOT passes without advisories do not preclude worn components escaping the tester's scope.
