2006 SKODA FABIA VRS TDI PD 1301.9L DIESEL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on January 28 2026 at 120,408 miles where no defects were recorded. This follows a brief failure in February 2025 at 117,034 miles, which was rectified immediately as the car passed three days later. The lack of advisories across the last three successful tests suggests that the previous owners have been proactive in addressing mechanical wear and tear before they escalate into major failure points. At 120,408 miles over 20 years, the vehicle averages approximately 6,000 miles per annum, which is consistent with low-to-moderate annual use. The mileage data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 5,000 miles covered between November 2022 and January 2024, and another 8,000 miles between January 2024 and January 2026. This steady accumulation reduces the likelihood of extreme drivetrain stress, though the age of the vehicle still increases the risk of rubber-based component degradation and corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components, as these older Skodas are prone to rust in the sills and rear mounting points. Despite the clean MOT history, the age warrants a close check of perished bushes and worn coil springs which often fail regardless of low mileage. Given the TDI 130 engine, checking for oil leaks around the turbocharger and injectors is essential to ensure the low mileage has not been masked by neglected engine maintenance.
