2010 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · CP10 XDH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in September 2021 at 60,344 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This suggests that the previous owner maintained the car to a standard that avoided immediate mechanical or structural failures. However, because no MOT has been recorded for the five years since that last test, the vehicle is currently untested and requires an immediate inspection to verify its current roadworthiness. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,772 miles per year. Between September 2017 and September 2021, the car covered only 19,838 miles, moving from 40,506 to 60,344 miles. This low usage frequency indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and brake system. Conversely, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes, engine seals, and tyre compounds, which do not necessarily reflect in low mileage figures. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age rather than distance. Given the five-year gap in testing, check for brake corrosion and seized calipers, which often occur during disuse. The structural integrity must be verified for surface rust on the sills and wheel arches, as moisture can settle even on rarely driven cars. Since the record is clean, a thorough check of the fluid levels and perished hoses is essential to ensure no leaks or degradation have developed since the 2021 certification.
