2016 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · DP16 ACX

This Skoda Fabia presents an exceptionally stable maintenance profile with a consistent record of roadworthiness. The most recent MOT on 28 November 2025 at 82,102 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the vehicle failed a test on the same day at 82,101 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative failure rather than a mechanical deficiency. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a ten year old vehicle. Between November 2022 and November 2025, the odometer climbed from 56,244 to 82,102 miles, averaging roughly 8,600 miles per year. This linear progression indicates the car has been used regularly and avoided long periods of standing, which typically helps preserve rubber seals and prevents battery degradation. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age. There are no recorded advisories for suspension bushes, brake disc corrosion, or tyre tread depth across the last four years of testing. This absence of flagged wear suggests a disciplined approach to preventative maintenance by the previous owners. A physical inspection should still focus on common age related wear that MOT testers may overlook if it does not meet a failure threshold. Check the condition of the coil springs for hairline cracks and inspect the brake pedal feel to ensure no binding calipers are present. Given the clean record, the buyer should primarily verify that the service intervals for the engine oil and timing belt align with the manufacturer's schedule, as these critical maintenance items are not captured in DVSA MOT data.
