2016 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · BK16 ADO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear trend of improvement following a period of neglect. The most recent test in July 2025 at 116,948 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the previous mechanical issues identified in 2022 were successfully addressed and that the vehicle has maintained a clean record over the last three annual inspections. The mileage accumulation is remarkably consistent for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,700 miles per year. Between July 2023 and July 2025, the car covered 23,386 miles, showing a regular pattern of use. There are no significant gaps in the testing history to suggest long periods of standing, which often leads to seized brake calipers or perished rubber components. The current mileage reflects typical annual usage for a Skoda Fabia, suggesting standard wear on the drivetrain and suspension-related components. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension assembly. The 2022 failure at 89,252 miles highlighted serious fluid leaks from both front shock absorbers and uneven wear on the front tyres. While these were repaired, an inspector should check for remaining signs of weeping dampers or excessive play in the suspension bushes that could cause the original tyre scrubbing. Given the previous tyre wear issues, verifying the current alignment and tread uniformity across all tyres is essential to ensure the geometry is not prematurely wearing new rubber.
