2009 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · KU59 FFN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent MOT on 2025-11-11 showing a pass at 64,933 miles. However, a prior failure on the same date noted a non-working rear fog lamp, which was rectified before the pass. The maintenance trend shows some inconsistency, with previous tests revealing minor issues such as tyre wear and a shock absorber leak. These suggest that while the car has been maintained to a basic standard, there are areas requiring attention, particularly in the suspension and tyres. The mileage of 64,933 miles over 17 years equates to an average of 3,820 miles per year, which is low for the age. This suggests either infrequent use or periods of inactivity. The MOT records show consistent testing every 12 months, with no major gaps. The 2024-11-08 test recorded two tyre failures and a serious shock absorber leak, indicating potential neglect in routine checks. The following year’s test showed improvement, with only one tyre defect and no further suspension issues. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the shock absorbers, for signs of wear or leakage. The brake system should also be checked, as the 2024 test highlighted nearside front tyre wear, which could indicate uneven braking. Corrosion and structural integrity should be assessed, especially around the chassis and bodywork, as these are often overlooked in older vehicles. The rear fog lamp issue, though minor, should be verified as functional. Overall, the car appears to be in acceptable condition but requires careful evaluation of its mechanical and structural components.
