2009 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · RE09 ACJ

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test on 4 February 2026 at 84,943 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While a failure was logged on the same day, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a rapid rectification of a minor issue. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2009 model, averaging roughly 4,997 miles per year. The distance covered between the March 2023 test at 71,145 miles and the February 2026 test at 84,943 miles shows a consistent usage pattern of approximately 6,000 to 7,000 miles annually over the last three years. This suggests the car has not suffered from prolonged periods of standing, which often leads to seized calipers or perished rubber components. The MOT history is unusually clean for a seventeen year old vehicle, with no advisories or failures recorded across four years of testing. This lack of data on wear and tear is atypical for a car of this age. A buyer should specifically inspect the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for surface corrosion or fatigue that may not have been flagged by a tester. Given the low mileage and clean record, the primary concern is the integrity of the chassis and underbody. You should check for structural corrosion, particularly around the sills and suspension mounting points, as these areas often deteriorate regardless of mileage. Verify the condition of the tyres and fluid levels to ensure the previous owner maintained the vehicle beyond the minimum requirements for an MOT pass.
