2016 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · OU66 YHC

This Skoda Fabia presents a stable and exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 8 October 2025 at 69,327 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The vehicle has maintained a consistent pass rate over the last four years without a single advisory for wear or deterioration. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical light-to-moderate use for a ten-year-old vehicle. Between October 2022 and October 2023, the car covered 11,422 miles, which represents the highest period of annual use in the recorded history. More recently, the distance between October 2024 and October 2025 dropped to 4,863 miles. This gradual reduction in annual mileage suggests the car has not been subjected to excessive strain or long-distance commuting in its later years. The absence of any advisories regarding brake discs, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions over five years is unusual for a vehicle of this age. It implies a high standard of preventative maintenance or a very gentle driving style. There are no recurring trends of corrosion or structural integrity issues flagged in the DVSA data, which reduces the likelihood of hidden chassis rot. A physical inspection should still focus on consumables that the MOT tester may have overlooked or that do not trigger a failure. Check the condition of the tyre treads and the age of the battery, as these are standard wear items. Given the clean record, the buyer should primarily verify that the service history aligns with the MOT dates to ensure the engine oil and filters were changed regardless of the low annual mileage.
