2016 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · KS16 XGJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 at 120,159 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears positive, as the last two annual tests resulted in zero advisories or failures. This suggests that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed and that the current owner is maintaining the car to a standard that prevents deterioration. The mileage pattern indicates consistent and heavy use for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 12,000 miles per annum. Between April 2025 at 107,488 miles and March 2026 at 120,159 miles, the car covered over 12,000 miles in under a year. This steady accumulation suggests the car is likely used for motorway commuting, which is generally less taxing on the clutch and brakes than short-distance city driving. The intervals between tests are also regular, showing no evidence of long-term storage or neglect. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the cooling system, as a leak was flagged during the April 2024 test at 96,495 miles. While the car has passed since, high-mileage engines often develop brittle hoses or weeping water pumps after an initial leak occurs. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs is also necessary, as these components often show accelerated wear at this distance. Checking the brake discs for uneven wear or thinning will confirm that the high annual mileage has not compromised the stopping system.
