2008 Skoda Fabia 1.9L Diesel · WN08 VPL

The roadworthiness status of this Skoda Fabia is currently sound, supported by a stable maintenance trend across recent examinations. In the most recent test conducted on 14 January 2026 at 118,682 miles, the vehicle secured a pass with zero defects recorded. This clean outcome mirrors the preceding annual inspections on 22 January 2025 and 9 January 2023, alongside a pass on 2 February 2024. A single failure occurred on 10 January 2024, though the record lists no specific defects for that refusal, suggesting a minor administrative issue or an immediate retest rectifying a transient fault. The mileage accumulation sits at roughly 6,593 miles per year across its eighteen-year lifespan, totaling 118,682 miles by January 2026. This rate of use aligns with typical domestic driving patterns for a vehicle of this age. The historical dataset is exceptionally sparse regarding advisories or recorded faults, revealing no recurring mechanical failures or chronic deterioration in the testing logs. Inspecting this vehicle in person requires focusing on components that typically age out regardless of clean MOT test sheets. Rubber suspension bushes, drop links, and coil springs demand a thorough physical check on a ramp, as testers often issue advisories only when wear becomes severe. Buyers must also examine brake discs and pads for corrosion or uneven wear, and verify the condition of the exhaust system and subframe structures for age-related surface rust.
