2007 Skoda Fabia 1.9L Diesel · NX07 UWR

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its latest MOT in April 2026 with 181,857 miles and no recorded defects. This represents a stable maintenance trend following a period of significant neglect revealed in early 2024. The transition from a multi-point failure in 2024 to clean passes in the most recent tests indicates that the current owner has addressed the immediate mechanical and safety issues previously identified by the testing centre. At 181,857 miles over 19 years, the car has averaged approximately 9,500 miles per year, which aligns with typical national averages for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with 12,000 miles covered between April 2024 and April 2025, and another 17,000 miles between April 2025 and April 2026. This regularity suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than sitting for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining rubber components and preventing fluid stagnation. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension and braking system. The history shows a recurring issue with pitted and scored brake discs dating back to 2023, alongside a rough nearside front wheel bearing flagged in 2024. While these were reportedly rectified, the high mileage increases the likelihood of further wear on bearings and bushings. The buyer must also verify the drive shaft boots for tears or grease, as a split boot caused a failure in 2024, and ensure the replacement was thorough rather than just a temporary fix.
