2010 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · YX10 AEE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a clean record following a single isolated failure. The most recent test in June 2025 at 179,946 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the owner is currently addressing necessary maintenance promptly. While a failure occurred in June 2024 at 170,382 miles, the subsequent pass just one month later suggests that the issue was a straightforward repair rather than a sign of chronic mechanical neglect. The mileage pattern remains consistent with a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,200 miles per year. There is a notable increase of 13,108 miles recorded between May 2023 and June 2024, followed by a further 8,928 miles between July 2024 and June 2025. This regular usage suggests the car is used consistently for daily transit, which is generally better for seals and components than long periods of sitting deid, though it places expected strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to high-mileage wear on a Skoda Fabia. Given the nearly 180,000 mile reading, a close look at the control arm bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is essential as these often perish at this interval. Check for signs of structural corrosion on the rear sills and subframe, as the MOT history does not explicitly rule out rust despite the age of the vehicle. Inspect the brake system for binding calipers or thin discs to ensure the clean MOT record reflects the actual state of the hardware.
