2016 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · AF16 RXU

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 20 March 2025 at 121,481 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The March 2025 test showed no defects, though the prior day's failure on 19 March 2025 at the same mileage with no defects recorded points to an administrative or documentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or structural concerns appear across any entry from 2022 to 2025. Annual mileage averages around 12,148 miles, which is high for a 2016 supermini but consistent with steady use rather than neglect or long standing periods. The records show 80,516 miles in April 2022, rising to 95,003 by March 2023, 111,777 by March 2024, and 121,481 by March 2025. The accumulation is linear at roughly 15,000 miles per year, with no sudden jumps or gaps that would suggest odometer irregularity or concealed disuse. The clean MOT history gives no flagged wear on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, or corrosion, so the buyer should still verify these in person given the mileage. At 121,481 miles the Fabia will be due consumable renewal regardless of test outcomes, particularly dampers, drive shafts, and exhaust emissions components subject to ten-year degradation. A pre-purchase inspection should confirm structural integrity underneath and check for binding calipers or tired tyres not caught in the test bay. The previous owner kept the car tested yearly with no recorded faults, implying basic statutory upkeep was met, but the high mileage means mechanical lifespan rests on unseen service records rather than MOT evidence.
