2009 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · DA09 AZT

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 7 May 2025 at 57,604 miles, with the maintenance trend reading stable across the recorded history. The May 2025 test shows a pass and a same-day fail with no defects logged, mirroring an identical pattern from 15 May 2024 at 52,082 miles. These paired entries with no recorded faults suggest administrative re-tests rather than mechanical rectification, and the vehicle carried a clean pass on 18 May 2023 at 47,120 miles. No advisories or defects appear anywhere in the three-year span. At roughly 17 years old the Fabia shows 57,604 recorded miles, an average of about 3,388 miles per year. The odometer moved from 47,120 in May 2023 to 52,082 in May 2024, then to 57,604 by May 2025, equating to near-identical annual use of around 4,900 and 5,500 miles in the last two years. Low overall mileage for the age points to light use or periods of standing, though the recent yearly increments are steady rather than sparse. The clean record gives no evidence of deferred consumable replacement or ignored wear items. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the absent advisories. Standing time inherent to low mileage risks perished rubber components such as suspension bushes, degraded hoses, and flat-spotted tyres unseen by the tester. Brake discs and calipers may show corrosion or binding after limited use, and underbody structural integrity should be checked for rust given the vehicle's 2009 build date. The DVSA data alone supports a favourable verdict with no recurring faults or worsening trend. Confirm in person that the May 2025 fail was purely procedural, and verify fluid condition, tyre sidewalls, and chassis corrosion before purchase.
