2009 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · UY03 MOG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection in October 2025 with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears remarkably stable, as the car has maintained clean pass records across multiple annual tests since 2022. Although a failure was noted on the same day as the latest pass, the subsequent success without further defects indicates that the vehicle is being maintained to a consistent safety standard over the last three years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,577 miles per year. The recorded figure of 43,817 miles is significantly below the national average for a car of this age. Between 2022 and 2025, the vehicle covered roughly 5,500 miles, confirming a pattern of short-distance usage. While low mileage suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, it also indicates long periods of standing which can lead to age-related degradation of components rather than mechanical exhaustion. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on components typically affected by low-mileage, older vehicles. Because the car has traveled infrequently, it is vital to check the condition of rubber seals, suspension bushings, and coolant hoses, which can become brittle and crack over time irrespective of mileage. Check for surface rust on the brake discs and seized calipers, as infrequent use often prevents the brakes from cleaning themselves. Additionally, verify the age and tread depth of the tyres for flat spotting, as low mileage does not prevent the chemical breakdown of the rubber compound.
