2009 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · KP58 OVA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 135,476 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal standards. While a failure was noted in October 2024, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the previous owner addressed the identified faults promptly without allowing them to persist. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a vehicle of 17 years old, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between September 2022 and October 2024, the car covered 7,158 miles, reflecting a steady usage profile rather than long periods of stagnation which can lead to dry rot or seized components. This gradual accumulation suggests that the mechanical systems like the drivetrain and suspension have been subjected to regular use, though the age of the vehicle means rubber-based components remain a concern despite the relatively low mileage. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the most recent tests, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common wear points for this specific model and age. At 135,000 miles, the structural integrity should be verified for hidden corrosion, particularly along the sills and wheel arches, as the MOT does not flag surface rust until it becomes a structural failure. Inspect the rear suspension bushes for play and check for binding brake calipers, as these components often degrade before triggering a formal MOT failure.
