2016 Skoda Rapid 1.2L Petrol · FN16 ADU

The Skoda Rapid presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 12 January 2026 at 95,811 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the prior four years. Annual mileage has tracked close to the expected average for a 2016 vehicle. The records show 50,888 miles in January 2022, rising to 62,144 in January 2023, 73,567 in January 2024, 84,893 in January 2025, and 95,811 in January 2026. That equates to roughly 11,000 miles per year with no standing gaps or sudden accumulation spikes. The DVSA data is sparse in advisories, showing no flagged wear on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, exhaust, or structural corrosion at any stage. A clean five-year test history with zero advisories suggests the previous keeper maintained the car to a reasonable standard. No recurring faults appear in the suspension, braking, or emissions systems that would point to deferred upkeep. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection before purchase. At 95,811 miles the original clutch, dampers, and coil springs may be nearing natural wear limits even though the tester logged no faults. Check underneath for early corrosion on subframes and sills, and verify service history covers cambelt and brake fluid intervals the MOT does not capture.
