2016 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · ML16 ABO

This Skoda Fabia presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 October 2025 at 68,806 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Although the vehicle failed a test four days earlier on 27 October 2025 at 68,790 miles, the record lists no specific defects for that failure, which suggests a minor administrative error or a rapidly rectified fault. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical use for a ten-year-old vehicle. It covered 8,827 miles between the November 2024 test at 59,979 miles and the October 2025 test at 68,806 miles. This represents a slight increase in annual usage compared to the period between March 2023 at 53,159 miles and November 2023 at 57,836 miles. There are no erratic mileage jumps or significant gaps that would suggest periods of prolonged standing or commercial misuse. The absence of advisories across five tests since March 2023 is unusual for a vehicle of this age. Most cars this old show some evidence of worn suspension bushes, thinning brake discs, or minor corrosion on the underside. The lack of flagged consumables suggests either a very meticulous maintenance regime or a tester who has been lenient with minor wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the chassis and suspension components to verify the clean record. Check for any signs of structural corrosion on the sills and subframes. It is also worth checking the date codes on the tyres and the condition of the brake pads to ensure that basic wear-and-tear items have been replaced despite not appearing as MOT advisories.
