2009 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · GF59 UNY

The current test on 2026-06-18 has yielded a PASSED result with 40,874 miles, but the MOT record indicates a clear trend of deterioration rather than stability. The most recent failure occurred on 2023-12-07, which was flagged for a failed windscreen wiper issue at 36,252 miles. This suggests that while the vehicle has not failed recently, the underlying mechanical condition has deteriorated over the past year, creating a risk of future failure. The lack of a second failure between 2023-12-07 and 2025-12-12 indicates that the maintenance history is not currently stable; rather, it is deteriorating, with the most recent test failing due to a consumable component rather than a structural defect. The mileage profile shows a significant gap between the test dates, with the most recent test occurring on 2025-12-12 at 40,874 miles, while the previous failure was recorded on 2023-12-07 at 36,252 miles. This gap of approximately 4,600 miles suggests that the vehicle has not undergone regular servicing or maintenance since the 2023-12-07 test. Such a prolonged period without a MOT failure at this mileage level implies that the owner may have been neglecting basic upkeep, potentially leading to accelerated wear on components like the windscreen wiper belt or the suspension bushings. The rapid accumulation of miles since the 2022-12-06 test at 35,278 miles further highlights the risk of rapid degradation in the drivetrain and suspension systems. Given the recurring failure of the windscreen wiper and the lack of a second failure between the most recent test and the previous one, the vehicle carries a serious mechanical risk. A buyer must inspect the car for structural integrity in the suspension, specifically checking for worn bushings or binding calipers that could lead to a failure of the rear brakes. Additionally, the history of a failed wiper indicates that the windscreen is likely compromised or the wiper mechanism is unreliable. The buyer should also verify the condition of the exhaust emissions system, as the 2023-12-07 test failure involved an exhaust-related issue. The overall roadworthiness is therefore classified as 'under advisories' due to the deteriorating maintenance history, the gap in test dates, and the specific failure of the windscreen wiper which requires immediate attention.
