2016 SKODA FABIA1.2L Petrol

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. While the tests between 2021 and 2024 showed no recorded defects, the most recent inspection on 23 July 2025 at 70,654 miles introduced a minor advisory for slight play in the nearside front anti-roll bar linkage ball joint. This indicates the onset of suspension component wear rather than a systemic mechanical failure or structural neglect. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-useage profile, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per annum. Between the 2022 test at 41,301 miles and the July 2024 test at 64,522 miles, the car covered over 13,000 miles, followed by another 6,132 miles leading up to the 2025 record. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to long periods of standing, which generally benefits the engine seals and rubber components compared to high-mileage counterparts. A buyer should physically inspect the front suspension to check if the nearside anti-roll bar linkage has progressed into a failure, as this will cause audible knocking over uneven surfaces. Given the clean history of the previous years, the focus should remain on verifying the state of the corrosion on the chassis and exhaust lines, as these are common areas of concern for vehicles of this age. The record shows no history of recurring brake issues or structural degradation that would suggest a lack of preventative maintenance.
