2016 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · GL16 KPP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in October 2025 at 112,217 miles with no recorded defects. However, the maintenance history reveals a trend of minor mechanical wear and component-related issues over the previous four years. While the vehicle has maintained a passing status, the persistence of advisories regarding suspension and braking components suggests that parts are reaching the end of their service life and may require proactive replacement. At 112,217 miles, the Fabia has averaged approximately 11,200 miles per year, which is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age. There is a steady accumulation of mileage between annual tests, with 12,837 miles covered between October 2023 and 2024, and another 12,536 miles between 2024 and 2025. This regularity suggests consistent road use rather than long periods of stagnation which is generally favourable for mechanical health. A buyer should focus specifically on the front suspension, as both nearside and offside shock several have been flagged for light misting of oil consistently since the October 2022 test at 74,093 miles. By the time the vehicle reached 112,217 miles, these seals may have degraded to a functional leak requiring replacement. Additionally, the offside rear brake was noted as binding in 2024 at 99,681 miles; this should be inspected to ensure the caliper is not seized and that the brake disc has not suffered from excessive heat damage. The history also notes recurring artwork damage across three consecutive years from 2022 to 2024. While this did not result in a failure, the glass should be checked for cracks that may eventually impact safety. The offside rear tyre cut noted in 2022 and 2023 should be verified for current condition to ensure the structural cords remains intact. Beyond these consumable and minor items, the absence of structural corrosion in the records indicates the chassis has likely remained in good condition.
