2016 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · DF16 MWM

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 December 2025 at 56,693 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 14 December 2023 at 48,841 miles confirms a two-year run of fault-free examinations. The vehicle shows no worsening mechanical faults across the available history. Recorded mileage sits low for a 2016 registration, totalling 56,693 miles or roughly 5,669 miles per year. The tests chart steady, light use: 42,274 miles on 30 November 2022, 48,841 miles in December 2023, 52,860 miles in December 2024, and 56,693 miles by December 2025. A failed entry on 10 December 2024 at 52,860 miles carries no listed defects, with a pass logged the same day, suggesting an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a repair gap. Sparse clean records imply the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age and likely periods of standing. Low annual mileage can allow corrosion to develop on structural members and underbody components without surfacing in MOT advisories. Verify the tyres, wiper blades, and exhaust emissions during a viewing, as these consumables fall outside the clean test data. The absence of recorded advisories means no recurring fault trend exists, but a ten-year-old vehicle warrants a baseline check of drivetrain condition before purchase.
