2016 SKODA FABIA1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance record over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 24 April 2025 at 49,535 miles returned no defects or advisories, maintaining a perfect streak of clean passes. This trend suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable operating parameters without the emergence of recurring faults or significant deferred maintenance issues. The mileage profile is low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per annum. Between January 2021 at 35,184 miles and the April 2025 test at 49,535 miles, the car covered only 14,351 miles. This low usage indicates short-trip patterns, which typically reduce wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, the long intervals between some tests can sometimes mask age-related degradation of rubber-based components or fluid breakdown, as these parts age through time rather than through mechanical friction. Given the lack of recorded advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage neglect. A buyer must check for dry cracking on the tyres and sidewalls, as well as perished wiper blades, which occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. The brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or pitting, which often develops when cars are not used frequently. Additionally, checking the suspension bushes and exhaust system for surface rust is prudent to ensure that the low mileage has not led to a lack of attention regarding chassis preservation.
