2009 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · AF09 URV

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 8 September 2025 at 68,815 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following clean passes on 25 April 2024 at 68,213 miles and 28 April 2023 at 67,062 miles. The only blemish is a failed test on 26 April 2023 at 67,061 miles, where the tester logged no defects, suggesting an administrative or unrecorded reason rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear across the record. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally low use for a 2009 vehicle. At 68,815 miles on the latest test, the car averaged roughly 4,048 miles per year. Between April 2023 and September 2025 the odometer rose just 1,754 miles, confirming long periods of standing. Such low annual accumulation often means lighter wear on drivetrain and consumables, though extended inactivity can allow brake calipers to seize and tyres to degrade through age rather than tread loss. The sparse history with four entries over three years gives limited visibility of component condition between tests. A buyer should still inspect the vehicle in person for age-related issues not captured by the clean MOT record. Check coil springs and suspension arms for fatigue cracks, and examine subframes and sills for structural rust given the car's 17 years. Verify brake calipers are not binding after the long idle periods implied by the mileage. Confirm tyre sidewalls show no perishing from standing, and test all lighting and fluid levels before purchase.
