2016 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · FN16 AEM

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 September 2025 at 62,719 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This clean bill of health suggests the car is mechanically sound at the time of the last inspection, though the current date of 20 July 2026 means the MOT certificate is nearing its expiry. The mileage pattern is consistent and typical for a ten year old vehicle. It covered 8,399 miles between September 2023 and September 2024, and a further 7,376 miles by September 2025. These figures indicate regular, moderate use rather than prolonged periods of standing, which generally helps preserve rubber components and prevents seals from drying out. The MOT history is unusually clean, showing no recorded defects or advisories across several years of testing. While the record shows failures on 19 September 2023 and 18 September 2025, the lack of listed defects suggests these were likely administrative errors or very minor issues resolved immediately. There is no evidence of recurring faults regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on consumables that do not always trigger MOT failures until they reach a critical limit. Check the depth of the tyre treads and the condition of the brake pads, as the absence of advisories does not guarantee these parts are not nearing the end of their service life. Inspect the underside for any surface rust that may have been overlooked, given the vehicle's age.
