2009 Fiat Qubo 1.2L Diesel · OV59 MFX

The 2009 Fiat Qubo presents a stable and clean mechanical history, culminating in a clear pass on 11 November 2025 at 105,041 miles with zero defects recorded. A preceding test on 3 November 2025 at 104,889 miles shows a failure, yet no defects were logged, suggesting an administrative rejection or a minor issue swiftly rectified before the successful retest eight days later. The maintenance trend remains highly consistent, with no recurring mechanical faults or advisories appearing across the recorded history. This pattern indicates a vehicle that has remained fundamentally sound, requiring no significant remedial work to meet roadworthiness standards over the past four years. The annual mileage accumulation sits at a typical low-to-average rate of roughly 6,179 miles per year for a vehicle of this age. Between the October 2022 test at 94,218 miles and the November 2024 test at 99,850 miles, the Qubo covered 5,632 miles over 25 months, reflecting steady, light usage. The most recent 12-month interval from November 2024 to November 2025 saw 5,191 miles added, confirming the owner continued to use the vehicle sparingly. No sudden spikes in mileage or prolonged gaps suggesting long-term standing appear in the data, pointing to regular, short-journey motoring. Although the MOT record remains entirely free of advisories, a physical inspection must focus on age-related deterioration typical of the Fiat Qubo platform. Low-mileage vehicles often suffer from perished rubber components; check the suspension bushes, coil springs, and exhaust mounts for cracking or corrosion caused by short trips that prevent moisture evaporation. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface rust and binding, a common issue when vehicles stand for extended periods between uses. Examine the underbody and sills closely for structural corrosion, as the Qubo's commercial-van underpinnings make it susceptible to rust in load-bearing areas.
