2010 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · FJ10 YFL

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 13 June 2025 at 125,814 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The tester logged no defects at that test, and no advisories appear in any entry from 2023 onward. The vehicle cleared its annual examination cleanly, indicating no outstanding mechanical or structural concerns were raised by DVSA inspectors during this period. Annual mileage sits at a typical level for a 2010 car, averaging roughly 7,863 miles per year against the 125,814 miles recorded. The odometer moved from 111,459 miles at the June 2023 test to 119,213 miles in May 2024, then to 125,810 miles by June 2025, showing consistent year-on-year use of around 6,000 to 8,000 miles with no sudden accumulation or long dormant gaps. The record is sparse but clean, with only two failed tests logged and both showing no recorded defects. The two failures dated 11 June 2025 and 12 June 2023 are anomalous, as the tester recorded no defects on either occasion yet the vehicle did not pass until a subsequent same-day or later attempt. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault on the car, since the immediately following tests passed with zero advisories. No recurring problems with suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the history. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and consumable items not captured by a clean MOT, given the car is sixteen years old with high total mileage. Particular attention should go to coil springs, subframe corrosion, and tyre condition, as these wear items fall outside the scope of a no-defect pass. The absence of advisories across four years implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the unexplained failures warrant confirmation that the V5C and test certificates match the DVSA timeline.
