2009 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · OV59 DFC

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT test in November 2025 at 128,816 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met the minimum standards following initial test failures. While the record shows two failures in 2023 and 2025, the immediate successful re-tests suggest that the owner is proactive in rectifying defects to keep the vehicle legal for the road. Mileage accumulation is consistent with the vehicle's seventeen-year age profile, averaging approximately 7,500 miles per year. The data shows a steady progression of use, moving from 107,692 miles in November 2023 to 118,992 miles in October 2024, followed by nearly 10,000 miles by the November 2025 test. This regular usage suggests the car is driven frequently rather than left for long periods, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals and preventing the type of internal corrosion often associated with stagnation. The lack of recorded advisories in the 2024 and 2025 passes is unusual for a car of this age and mileage, as testers typically flag minor wear on suspension bushes or brake components. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the chassis for structural rust and check the sills, as these areas are prone to corrosion long before an MOT failure occurs. Given the previous failures, a close look at the condition of the brake lines and the integrity of the exhaust system is also necessary to ensure the issues that caused past failures are not beginning to recur.
