2010 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · FG10 BUF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on 23 February 2026 at 92,340 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the most recent failure was limited to a simple adjustment of headlamp aim, which was rectified immediately. While previous tests highlighted recurring minor issues, the lack of new defects in the latest inspection suggests that the owner is proactively addressing safety-related faults as they arise. At 16 years years old, the recorded mileage of 92,340 miles is notably low, averaging approximately 5,771 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage over recent years, with 13,724 miles covered between April 2024 and March 2025, and another 6,759 miles between March 2025 and February 2026. This low annual mileage often indicates that mechanical components like the drivetrain and rubber seals may suffer more from age-related degradation than from wear from high mileage. A buyer should pay close attention to the nearside front service brake, which was flagged as fluctuating in March 2025 at 85,581 miles. This condition often indicates a warped brake disc or a sticking caliper, which may require replacement to ensure consistent braking performance. The persistent oil leak noted in both 2024 and 2025 also warrants monitoring. While the tester deemed the leak not excessive, a physical inspection of the engine sump and crank cover seals is necessary to ensure the leak is not worsening or affecting critical components.
