2016 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · CV66 HPF

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent MOT on 28 October 2025 at 88,167 miles with no recorded defects. This represents an improving trend in maintenance compared to the significant issues identified in 2024. While the 2024 test revealed multiple mechanical and consumable failures, the clean sheet from the latest inspection suggests that the previous owner addressed the flagged brake and tyre components before the subsequent test date. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap of 21,664 miles between January 2023 and October 2024, followed by a more rapid accumulation of 11,897 miles between October 2024 and October 2025. This steady usage suggests regular operation rather than long periods of stationary time, which is generally beneficial for maintaining the integrity of rubber components and preventing seal-related seizing in the braking system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the 2024 record flagged pitted and scored discs globally along with thin rear pads and a binding nearside rear caliper. Although the car passed in 2025, the history of a binding caliper indicates that the piston or slider may be beginning to fail. The recurring issue of uneven tyre wear in 2022 and 2024 also suggests potential persistent alignment issues or worn suspension bushes that warrant a thorough check during a test drive to prevent premature wear on any new rubber.
