2009 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Petrol · CX59 YBV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 26 September 2025 at 77,992 miles, indicating a stable and positive maintenance trend. The record shows a clean history over the last four years, with no defects or advisories noted by testing stations. This consistent record suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular oversight and that the previous owner addressed potential issues before they escalated into formal test failures. The recorded mileage of 77,992 miles over a seventeen-year period averages approximately 4,588 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the national average. Annual testing has remained remarkably consistent since 2022, confirming the car is in regular use rather than sitting idle for extended periods. The anomaly on 16 October 2024, where the vehicle failed and passed on the same day at a negligible mileage difference, likely points to a minor administrative error or a swift rectification of a simple component such as a bulb, rather than a systemic mechanical fault. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the effects of age rather than high-mileage wear. While the MOT history is clean, components like rubber suspension bushes, coolant hoses, and engine mounts often perish due to time rather than distance. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion on the subframes and check the condition of the brake lines, as these are common failure points for older vehicles that see limited annual use. The lack of recorded advisories is encouraging, but a thorough check of the exhaust system and tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking remains essential before purchase.
