2010 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · GV10 EVN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean passes to emerging component wear. The most recent test conducted in November 2022 at 125,833 miles passed, but noted an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and unevenly edged. This indicates a lack of proactive wheel alignment or tyre replacement immediately prior to the test, contrasting with the defect-free records seen in the preceding years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,800 miles per year. There is a significant gap of 14,861 miles recorded between February 2021 and November 2022, which represents a period of higher usage compared to the previous annual averages. However, between January 2018 and 2020, the car covered only roughly 8,000 miles over two years, suggesting a stable usage profile that generally preserves the drivetrain and various rubber-based components despite the age of the vehicle. A buyer should inspect the suspension system closely, specifically noting the 2021 advisory regarding a damaged nearside rear shock absorber casing. Damage to these casings often precedes a seal failure and subsequent fluid leakage. The uneven tyre wear noted in the 2022 record necessitates a physical check of the front geometry and suspension bushes to ensure misalignment is not causing premature degradation of new tyres. Since the last MOT was performed over three years ago, a comprehensive inspection of the structural integrity for corrosion and brake line condition is essential to ensure no significant issues have developed since the last recorded test.
