We had this on Mrs B's Skoda Fabia (1.6 turbo VW Golf engine, apparently it’s well known on this engine), which was used for a lot of short journeys among, it has to be said, regular M-way runs. Peter86's suggestion of halted regens was spot on, at least this was given to us as the cause.

Fortunately an 'oil service required' message prompted further investigation, and a quick oil and filter change sorted it. FWIW, mileage was mid 60s, and it was 5 months since service had been carried out.

Another reason to regularly check the oil level - in this case for it being too high!
