2009 Skoda Fabia 1.6L Petrol · BJ09 MVD

The vehicle currently holds a clean bill of health, with the most recent test on 25 February 2026 resulting in a pass with zero recorded defects. This outcome continues a trend of consistent compliance, as the car has successfully cleared its annual inspections without any flagged advisories since February 2023. The absence of recurring mechanical failures or persistent component wear suggests the vehicle has benefited from diligent maintenance and proactive upkeep by previous owners. At 87,253 miles, the Skoda has covered an average of approximately 5,133 miles per annum over its seventeen-year lifespan. This low-mileage profile indicates moderate usage, though it also warrants scrutiny for issues associated with long-term storage or infrequent operation. The MOT record shows a stable progression of mileage between annual tests, confirming the vehicle remains in regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods. The anomalous failure recorded on 27 February 2024, which occurred on the same day as a subsequent pass, likely indicates a minor administrative oversight or a trivial adjustment rather than a significant mechanical breakdown. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that often deteriorate due to age rather than high mileage. Despite the clean MOT history, rubber suspension bushes, gaiters, and engine mounts can perish over seventeen years, leading to play or vibration that may not trigger a test failure but will affect ride quality. Check the underside for signs of surface corrosion on the chassis and subframes, as this is common in vehicles of this age. Verify that the brake discs and pads have sufficient material remaining, as these consumables are frequently replaced between tests and may not be captured in the digital MOT record.
