2016 Skoda Fabia S MPI 1.0L Petrol · GL16 ORU

The most recent MOT on 2025-12-22 showed the 2016 Skoda Fabia S MPI passed with no defects recorded at 52,832 miles. This aligns with a consistent pattern of passing MOTs over the past four years, including a 2023-11-11 pass at 41,445 miles and a 2022-07-20 pass at 34,572 miles. The only exception was a 2022-07-18 failure at 34,443 miles, though no defects were listed for that test. This suggests the vehicle has generally met safety and emissions standards, with no recurring issues flagged in the history. The mileage of 52,832 miles for a 10-year-old vehicle is significantly lower than average, translating to roughly 5,283 miles per year. This could indicate light use, such as short trips or infrequent driving, or periods of inactivity. While lower mileage often correlates with reduced wear on components like brakes and suspension, it may also lead to issues like dry rot, fluid degradation, or electrical system stagnation if the car was left unused for extended periods. The lack of high-mileage wear indicators in the MOT records does not confirm this, but the low mileage remains a notable factor. The MOT history shows no evidence of worsening trends. All passes occurred without defects, and the single failure in 2022 did not result in recorded issues.
