2010 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · HV60 LTT

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean recent history, despite a single failure in December 2025. The most recent test on 16 December 2025 at 64,800 miles saw an initial failure due to a structural lump in the nearside rear tyre, but the car passed immediately following the replacement. Aside from this isolated tyre issue, the vehicle has consistently met minimum standards without recurring mechanical or structural defects. The mileage pattern indicates very light usage for a 2010 vehicle, averaging roughly 4,050 miles per year. The record shows consistent, low-interval driving, with the gap between the October 2024 test at 55,712 miles and the January 2025 test at 55,754 miles showing minimal movement. While the low mileage suggests reduced wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, the long periods of inactivity between 2019 and 2020 might warrant a check of rubber seals and fluid degradation. A buyer should focus on the condition of the tyres and glass, as these have been the primary sources of failure. The 2015 and 2016 tests flagged windscreen damage, and the 2019 and 2025 tests highlighted tyre defects, suggesting that consumable items are the main area of concern rather than systemic mechanical failure. The 2022 advisory regarding an inoperative registration plate lamp was a minor electrical fault that does not indicate broader wiring issues. Given the low mileage, I recommend a physical inspection of the braking system and suspension bushes to ensure that components have not seized or perished from lack of use. The absence of any advisories regarding corrosion or exhaust emissions across the entire history is a positive indicator of the vehicle's structural integrity and engine health.
