2009 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Petrol · DA59 FNJ

The Skoda Fabia shows a current roadworthy status with a passed MOT recorded on 12 October 2022 at 138,038 miles, and the maintenance trend appears stable across the available history. The most recent test passed with no defects logged, though it followed a failed attempt on the same date and mileage where the tester recorded no defects, an administrative or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior to that, the car passed on 18 October 2021 at 135,583 miles after a similar same-week failure on 15 October 2021 with no defects noted. Recorded mileage rose from 135,583 in October 2021 to 138,038 by October 2022, a modest 2,455 miles in twelve months against a 17 year life average near 8,120 miles per year. The low annual use in the final recorded year suggests lighter running, though the identical mileages on the pass and fail entries within each test week confirm no road use between those appointments. The sparse record carries no advisories or reported wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust, or structure across either year. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the suspension and subframe for corrosion, as a 2009 vehicle with intermittent standing periods is prone to underbody rust unseen in a clean MOT sheet. The brake discs and calipers warrant measurement for binding or uneven wear despite no historical flags. Verify the tyre sidewalls and tread depth, and confirm the DVSA failure reasons from October 2022 and 2021 were clerical, not suppressed mechanical defects.
