2010 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · WM59 EYH

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by three consecutive MOT passes over the last three years. The most recent inspection conducted on 15 January 2024 at 113,889 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal safety and environmental standards. While the history shows a failure in January 2021, the subsequent annual passes without advisories suggest that any previously identified issues were addressed effectively. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,118 miles per year. Between January 2022 and January 2024, the car covered 8,336 miles, moving from 105,553 to 113,889 miles. This steady accumulation suggests regular, light use rather than long periods of standing, which often leads to seized brakes or perished rubber components. The lack of sudden spikes in mileage indicates a predictable usage pattern that generally correlates with linear mechanical wear. Given the lack of recorded advisories in the recent tests, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation that does not always trigger an MOT failure. A buyer should check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, which are common for Fabias of this era. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracking and examine the shock absorbers for signs of leakage, as the low mileage does not prevent the hardening of rubber components over time. The clean record is a positive sign of owner diligence, but the age of the vehicle necessitates a close look at fluid integrity and underbody condition.
