2016 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · BS04 MMS

This 2016 Skoda Fabia presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 3 December 2025 at 54,751 miles with zero defects recorded. The preceding test on 2 December 2025 also failed with no defects noted, suggesting a procedural or administrative retest rather than a mechanical concern. Across the five-year history from December 2022 through December 2025, every recorded test passed with no advisories or failures, indicating consistent upkeep and no recurring mechanical or structural faults. The mileage accumulation tells a clear story of light use. The vehicle covered 4,966 miles between December 2024 and December 2025, following a steady pattern of roughly 4,200 to 5,000 miles annually over the prior years. At approximately 5,475 miles per year across its ten-year lifespan, this is well below the UK average. The recorded mileage remained static at 54,751 across both December 2025 tests, confirming the vehicle has seen minimal use since its last service cycle. No gaps or anomalies appear in the record. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should still inspect the underside for surface corrosion on suspension mounting points, subframes, and brake lines, as low-mileage vehicles that stand for extended periods can develop localised rust even when structural integrity remains sound. The tyres and brake components deserve close examination given the modest annual mileage, which can lead to uneven pad wear, binding calipers, and perished rubber from age rather than use. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be checked for deterioration, particularly if the vehicle has spent periods stationary. The exhaust system and catalytic converter warrant a brief emissions check under load, as short-trip driving patterns associated with low mileage can accelerate carbon build-up and affect long-term catalyst efficiency.
