2010 Skoda Fabia 1.9L Diesel · AO10 GFK

The 2010 Skoda Fabia demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with the most recent MOT on 2026-03-09 confirming no defects at 158,197 miles. The vehicle has maintained consistent compliance over the past three years, passing all tests without recorded issues. A single failed MOT on 2024-03-23 at 146,635 miles is noted, though no defects were listed, suggesting a procedural or technical anomaly rather than a mechanical failure. The absence of recurring faults indicates effective maintenance, with no signs of worsening conditions in the latest test. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging 9,887 miles annually. Tests spaced approximately 12 months apart reveal steady accumulation, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged inactivity. The 2023-03-27 test at 138,063 miles shows a 14,000-mile gap to the 2024-03-25 test, which may reflect seasonal use or infrequent driving. This pattern suggests the car has not been subjected to excessive wear from high-mileage usage, though long-term reliability of components like suspension bushes and brake discs remains contingent on prior servicing. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension system, particularly coil springs and bushings, which degrade over time without visible warning. The exhaust system and brake components, common wear points in older vehicles, warrant inspection for corrosion or uneven disc wear. While no structural rust or critical faults are documented, the 2024 failed test—despite no defects—highlights the need for a thorough pre-purchase check to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical integrity beyond MOT records.
