2009 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · DA59 EFV

The Skoda Fabia passed its most recent MOT on 21 October 2025 at 117,105 miles with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status. The maintenance trend appears stable, with the three most recent annual tests showing clean passes once minor administrative re-tests cleared. No worsening mechanical faults or recurring advisories appear across the 2023 to 2025 records. Mileage accumulation is consistent with typical use for a 2009 registered vehicle. The car covered 108,555 miles at the 31 October 2023 test, rose to 113,867 miles by 28 October 2024, and reached 117,103 miles by 20 October 2025. That equates to roughly 4,300 to 4,500 miles per year across the period, below the lifetime average of 6,889 miles per year. The DVSA data is sparse, showing only passes and two same-day failures with no defects logged, which limits insight into consumable wear or hidden corrosion. The October 2024 and October 2025 failures at 113,867 and 117,103 miles recorded no defects, suggesting documentation or presentation issues rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and underbody structural integrity given the car is seventeen years old. The absence of advisories across three years does not rule out latent corrosion or worn components missed by the tester. Given the clean record, previous owners likely kept basic statutory testing current, though the twin same-day failures imply lapsed paperwork or presentation slips rather than neglect of mechanical care. Verify service history and check for structural rust at sills and suspension mounts before purchase.
