2009 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · AD09 GNP

The Skoda Fabia presents a currently roadworthy status following the most recent test on 11 February 2023 at 138,465 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend across the supplied records reads as broadly stable with a single pre-failure rectification, rather than any worsening mechanical decline. The vehicle cleared the 21 January 2022 examination at 127,250 miles with no advisories, then failed the 4 February 2023 test at 138,460 miles before passing seven days later at 138,465 miles; the failure carried no listed defects, indicating an administrative or unrecorded minor correction rather than a substantive fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 8,145 across the car's seventeen years, a typical figure for a 2009 supermini. Between the January 2022 and February 2023 tests the odometer advanced 11,215 miles, equating to near-standard use with no abrupt accumulation. The record shows a clean sweep of passes aside from the anomalous February 2023 failure, and the sparse history offers little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred structural repair across the period observed. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the car's age and 138,465 recorded miles. The February 2023 fail with zero defects logged warrants verification that no latent brake disc wear, exhaust emission irregularity, or steering joint play was overlooked at the retest. Given the lack of advisories in any test, previous ownership appears to have maintained basic statutory compliance. Physical checks of tyre sidewall condition, underbody structural integrity, and binding calipers remain prudent before purchase, as the MOT ledger alone cannot confirm ongoing wear since the last 2023 examination.
