2016 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · FP16 WFJ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, showing a stable maintenance trend following a corrective period. The most recent test conducted on 21 November 2025 at 47,769 miles passed with no recorded defects. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in the previous year were successfully addressed and that the vehicle has maintained a clean record of operation over the last seven months. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,777 miles per year. Between November 2022 and November 2024, the car covered 10,690 miles, suggesting a consistent pattern of short-distance use. This low annual mileage typically means less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from the degradation of rubber components or seized brake calipers if the car sits stationary for extended periods between tests. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the front suspension geometry given the failure on 18 November 2024. That test at 42,297 miles flagged a failure due to excessively worn offside front inner suspension arm pins and bushes, along with noted wear on the nearside side. While the subsequent pass suggests these parts were replaced, a buyer should verify that the new bushings are not perished and that there is no remaining play in the steering assembly. The previous failure regarding a child seat obstructing the adult seat belt inspection is a minor administrative issue but highlights the importance of ensuring clear access for the tester during future checks.
