Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
The primary point for negotiation is the braking system; the rear brake discs have been flagged as worn, pitted, or scored in two consecutive MOTs (April 2025 and April 2026), indicating they will likely need replacing soon. Ensure you verify the service history for the timing belt and water pump, as these are critical intervals for a vehicle of this age and mileage.
Check for any evidence of recent repairs to the tyres, as a perishing tyre was noted in the 2022 record. Given the consistent pass record, the vehicle presents as a stable option, provided the pending brake work is accounted for in the final price.
Equipped with a 1.2L petrol engine, this Fabia is designed for low running costs, typically benefiting from a low insurance group and reasonable road tax. Maintenance is generally affordable, though the current MOT advisories suggest an upcoming spend on brake components.
Annual costs will be driven primarily by fuel and insurance. Based on the engine size and model type, typical maintenance and consumables should remain modest outside of major scheduled services.
Specifically inspect the rear brake discs for pitting and scoring, as this has been a recurring advisory for the last two years. Check the headlamps and suspension arms for wear or damage, as these are among the most common failure points for the Fabia across aggregate MOT data.
Examine all four tyres for signs of cracking or perishing, referencing the issue found in the 2022 test. Finally, check the overall condition of the red paintwork for any fading or clear-coat failure common to vehicles of this age.
This red 2016 Skoda Fabia has recorded five consecutive MOT passes since 2022, with no failures in that period. It has covered 74,356 miles, which is slightly higher than the model average. The most recent tests from 2025 and 2026 both highlight worn and pitted rear brake discs as a point of concern.
The Fabia maintains a solid reputation with an average MOT pass rate of 80.3%, though it is prone to headlamp and suspension arm issues.
