2010 Skoda Fabia 1.6L Diesel · YX60 AEE

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 24 September 2025 at 136,362 miles passed with no defects or advisories. This clean result follows four consecutive successful passes back to 2021, indicating that the previous owners maintained the car to a standard that avoided triggering MOT mechanical failures or safety warnings. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,500 miles annually. Between September 2023 and September 2024, the car covered 15,812 miles, showing a significant increase in use compared to the previous year where only 10 miles were recorded. However, the overall trajectory remains manageable, as no unexplained gaps exist in the testing history, with annual increments generally fluctuating between 8,000 and 16,000 miles. This regularity suggests the vehicle has been used consistently, which often helps prevent the degradation of seals and brake components that occurs during long periods of inactivity. While the MOT record shows no historical faults or advisories, a physical inspection should focus on age-related wear that a stationary test cannot fully capture. At 136,000 miles, the buyer should check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear wheel arches, where these models often suffer. Given the age, the rubber suspension bushes and dampers should be examined for cracking or tearing, as these components degrade without failing an immediate MOT test. The condition of the brake discs and the thickness of the pads should also be verified to ensure the recent mileage increase has not accelerated the wear on the braking system.
