2009 Skoda Fabia 1.9L Diesel · AD09 MFF

The 2009 Skoda Fabia’s most recent MOT on 2025-04-01 at 177,070 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but this test occurred over 15 months ago. Prior tests on the same date in 2025 and 2024 showed inconsistent outcomes—pass/fail pairs with identical mileage and no recorded faults. This pattern suggests potential administrative errors or repeated testing without meaningful findings. The vehicle’s roadworthiness appears stable based on the absence of critical defects in the record, but the lack of recent MOT data raises concerns about ongoing maintenance. A buyer should verify if the car has been retested or if the 2025 pass remains valid. The mileage progression shows a steady increase of approximately 2,500–2,900 miles annually between 2023 and 2025, aligning with the vehicle’s age and typical usage. The 177,070-mile total reflects consistent annual driving, avoiding extremes of low or high mileage. However, the sparse MOT history—only three tests over three years—limits insight into mechanical trends. The absence of defects in all recorded tests suggests no immediate safety risks, but the lack of detailed findings prevents assessment of wear on components like suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the braking system, as repeated MOTs without defects may mask gradual wear. Check for corrosion on underbody components, given the car’s age, and assess suspension components for uneven wear or binding. The absence of advisories on tyres or wiper blades implies no urgent consumable issues, but a physical inspection is necessary to confirm. The vehicle’s maintenance history lacks depth, so a professional check is recommended to validate the MOT record’s accuracy and identify any unresolved mechanical concerns.
