2009 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · RE09 AAZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes over the last four years. The most recent test on 22 July 2025 at 95,097 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects following an initial failure on the same day. This suggests a specific mechanical issue was identified and rectified immediately prior to the retest, as the vehicle has maintained a clean record since that point without any recurring structural or mechanical advisories. The mileage pattern is notably low for a seventeen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. Between July 2022 and July 2025, the car covered 15,830 miles, showing a very steady and incremental annual accumulation of roughly 5,200 miles per annum. This low usage frequency typically results in less wear on the drivetrain and engine, though low-mileage cars often face age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown if the vehicle sits for extended periods. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the MOT history, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to age rather than high-mileage wear. Inspect the structural integrity for corrosion on the sills and rear arches, as these are common failure points for this era of Fabia regardless of mileage. Check the suspension bushes and tyre boots for perishion or cracking, which can occur over time even if driven infrequently. Additionally examine the brake discs for pitting or surface rust, as low usage can sometimes lead to minor oxidation on the braking surfaces.
