2016 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · DC16 AEA

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 12 November 2025 at 22,491 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to November 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard or has experienced very little mechanical stress. The mileage is remarkably low for a ten year old car, averaging roughly 2,249 miles per year. The odometer readings show a steady, low-volume increase over the last five years, moving from 14,092 miles in November 2021 to 22,491 miles by November 2025. There are no erratic jumps in mileage or suspicious gaps in the testing history that would suggest undisclosed heavy use or periods of neglect. While the MOT record is flawless, the low mileage introduces specific risks associated with vehicle dormancy. A buyer should personally inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check for binding calipers, as brakes can seize when a car is not driven frequently. The tyres should be checked for flat spots or age-related cracking in the sidewalls, even if the tread depth remains legal. Attention should also be paid to the rubber components and fluids. Perished suspension bushes and degraded engine oil are common in low-mileage vehicles that spend long periods standing. A physical check of the battery health and a review of the service history for regular oil changes, regardless of mileage, will confirm if the previous owner followed a time-based maintenance schedule rather than relying solely on the odometer.
