2010 Skoda Fabia 1.9L Diesel · OY10 XAP

The vehicle remains roadworthy. The most recent MOT on 26 March 2026 at 65,392 miles passed with only a minor suspension pin wear. The trend shows improvement, as the only defect recorded in the previous decade was a tyre damage and indicator discolouration in 2022, which has been resolved. Mileage accumulation is steady. From 59,945 miles in April 2022 to 65,392 miles in March 2026, the car logged roughly 1,500–1,770 miles annually. This rate aligns with the low average of 4,087 miles per year for a 16‑year‑old vehicle, suggesting limited use rather than long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer should examine the front lower suspension arm pin and bush for any further wear or play, as the 2026 test noted a minor issue. Inspect the tyre tread depth and look for cracking or perishing, particularly on the near‑side rear tyre that failed in 2022. Verify that all indicator lights are functional and that the registration plate remains legible. Check the brake discs and calipers for signs of binding or uneven wear, and look for corrosion on the chassis and suspension mounting points. Overall, the vehicle has maintained a clean MOT record since 2023, with no new defects reported. The maintenance history indicates that previous owners addressed the identified issues promptly. A thorough visual and functional check of the suspension, tyres, brakes, and lighting will confirm that the car remains in sound mechanical condition.
