2006 Skoda Fabia 1.9L Diesel · AE06 WRZ

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 30 January 2026 at 160,975 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. No advisories or failures appear across the entire supplied history, indicating the vehicle has not required corrective work within the test regime during this period. Annual mileage has tracked close to the expected norm for a 2006 vehicle. The record shows 106,904 miles at the 28 January 2022 test, rising to 122,003 by 18 January 2023, 140,068 by 24 January 2024, 149,390 by 20 January 2025, and 160,975 by 30 January 2026. That equates to roughly 11,000 to 14,000 miles added each year, a mild excess over the 8,049 annual average but consistent and unremarkable. The clean sheet at every interval suggests the previous keeper kept basic statutory upkeep current rather than deferring obvious consumable faults. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car. The MOT record flags no corrosion, suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or exhaust emissions issues, yet a 20-year-old Fabia at 160,975 miles will carry age-related fatigue invisible to a pass result. Subframes, sills, and trailing arm mounts warrant close checks for structural rust. Examine the front suspension for worn dampers and perished bushes, and confirm brake calipers are free from binding after the recent layup between tests. Tyres and wiper blades show no advisory history but fall outside MOT scope once above legal minimum, so verify their actual condition before purchase.
