SKODA FABIA2016 · 1.2L PETROL

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 September 2025 at 49,073 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of five consecutive annual passes since October 2021. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the entire history, indicating the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies DVSA test requirements without recurring intervention. Annual mileage averages 4,907 against the vehicle's ten-year age, confirming genuinely light use. The records show steady, low accumulation: 24,225 miles in October 2021 rising to 27,358 by October 2022, 32,433 by October 2023, 40,847 by September 2024, and 49,073 by September 2025. The largest single-year increase was 8,414 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests, yet this remains modest. No gaps exist between tests; each falls within statutory twelve-month windows. The clean sheet across all entries suggests previous owners kept consumables and core systems within tolerance, though low standing mileage can mask perished rubber components not caught in a pass result. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the car's low-use profile. Standing periods accelerate degradation of flexible joints and can cause slight corrosion on structural members unseen during a no-defect test. Examine tyre sidewalls for cracking from age rather than wear, and verify brake discs for surface pitting after disuse. The absence of recorded advisories means no pattern of worsening faults exists to flag. Given the 2025 test sits roughly nine months from today's date, the MOT remains current and the vehicle requires only standard pre-purchase checks rather than remedial concern.
