2010 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · AD59 THU

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 January 2026 at 40,035 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults and no recurring advisories across the available history. Recorded mileage stands at 40,035 miles for a 16-year-old car, equating to roughly 2,500 miles per year. The DVSA entries show steady low accumulation: 27,508 miles in January 2022, rising to 32,452 in January 2023, 35,682 in January 2024, 38,247 in January 2025, and 40,035 in January 2026. No gaps or sudden jumps appear. The sparse, clean record implies the previous keeper used the car lightly and kept it to a basic test-standard regime without deferred faults. A buyer should still inspect in person for age-related issues the MOT does not capture. Standing time and low use often hide perished suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and corroding brake discs or calipers through lack of movement. Structural integrity around sills and subframes should be checked for rust given the 2010 build year. No recurring defects flag specific weak points in the Fabia's running gear. The clean advisories suggest consumables were renewed before each test. Verify service history and confirm brake operation and underbody condition before purchase.
