2010 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · RV10 YSF

The vehicle currently presents a roadworthy status, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of immediate failures following successful passes. The most recent test on 18 December 2025 at 71,682 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded defects, which suggests a non-mechanical issue or a failure to rectify a specific item between tests. Despite this recent setback, the overall trend remains stable as the car has consistently passed its re-tests after failing in both 2023 and 2024. The mileage profile is notably low for a sixteen-year-old Fabia, averaging approximately 4,480 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with only 1,215 miles recorded between December 2023 and December 2024, and another 939 miles between December 2024 and December 2025. While this low mileage limits wear on the engine and drivetrain, such long periods of standing often lead to accelerated aging of rubber components, such as brake hoses, bushes, and the degradation of brake fluids. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the structural integrity and suspension components, as the vehicle's age makes it susceptible to corrosion in the sills and wheel arches. Given the low mileage, check for seized brake calipers or perished suspension mounts that may have suffered from lack of use. Because the record shows failures without listed defects, it is also vital to verify that all lighting, bulbs, and emissions systems are functioning correctly, as these are common culprits for immediate MOT failures in low-mileage vehicles.
