2016 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · DP16 AEA

This vehicle demonstrates an exceptional roadworthiness trend with a stable maintenance history. The most recent MOT on 23 September 2025 at 78,644 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of five consecutive years of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation is steady and typical for a ten year old car. Between the September 2021 test at 49,874 miles and the September 2025 test at 78,644 miles, the car covered 28,770 miles. This averages to roughly 7,200 miles per year, suggesting regular use without excessive wear or long periods of stagnation that often lead to perished seals or seized calipers. The absence of any advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or corrosion over a five year period is rare for a vehicle of this age. The record shows no recurring faults, which implies a proactive approach to maintenance by the previous owner. There are no red flags in the DVSA data to suggest structural integrity issues or neglected consumables. A physical inspection should still focus on standard age related wear that MOT testers might overlook if it does not meet a failure threshold. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacement, as these are critical interval items for this engine that do not appear on an MOT record. Verify the fluid levels and look for any signs of oil leaks around the engine bay to ensure the mechanical health matches the clean testing history.
