2016 Skoda Fabia S MPI 1.0L Petrol · SF16 GCG

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 May 2026 at 84,427 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period of clean passes over the last three years, suggesting that the owners have proactively addressed mechanical issues before they escalated into failures. The mileage pattern is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,400 miles per annum. There is a notable gap in the records between January 2022 and December 2022, where the car covered 12,166 miles in under eleven months. Since that period, the usage has steadied, with 15,669 miles recorded between the April 2024 and May 2026 tests. This consistent use suggests regular operation rather than long periods of stagnation which can lead to seal degradation or corrosion. The only recorded mechanical concern occurred in January 2022 at 56,377 miles, when the tester flagged a worn nearside front suspension arm pin or bush. The fact that this issue did not reappear in subsequent tests over nearly 28,000 miles suggests the component was either replaced or the wear was marginal. A buyer should still visually inspect the front suspension bushes and arms for signs of tearing or play to ensure the issue has not returned. Given the lack of advisories in the most recent tests, the focus should remain on verifying the condition of consumables like brake pads and tyres, which are not detailed detailed in the MOT history.
