2010 Skoda Fabia 1.6L Diesel · YX60 AEK

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status following a successful MOT test in April 2026 at 127,680 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently passed inspections without recorded defects or lingering advisories. While the record shows immediate failures in both 2025 and 2026, the lack of specific recorded defects on those failure entries suggests administrative errors or minor re-test requirements that were rectified instantly, rather than systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,000 miles per annum. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 12,034 miles, while it added another 12,105 miles in the thirteen months between March 2025 and April 2026. This indicates regular, short-term use, which is generally beneficial for older vehicles as it prevents the seizing of brake components and the corrosion often associated with long periods of standing. Given the absence of recorded advisories in the digital history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on common Skoda wear points typical for this age and mileage. The lack of data on suspension bushes or structural corrosion means the buyer must manually check for rust around the rear wheel arches, sills, and floor pans. Inspect the condition of the brake discs for pitting and the integrity of the shock absorbers, as these are the first components to degrade on this platform before they reach an MOT failure threshold.
