2016 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · WH65 FEM

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted in January 2026 at 35,241 miles recorded no defects or advisories. This indicates a remarkably stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components remain within DVSA tolerance parameters without the typical wear-related-tear often seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Between the January 2024 test at 17,960 miles and the January 2026 test at 35,241 miles, the vehicle covered 17,281 miles, representing a slight increase in usage compared to previous years but still remaining below the average for domestic-use vehicles. This low mileage generally reduces mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine system, though it increases the risk of perish in rubber components and fluid degradation during periods of inactivity. Because the MOT record shows no history of failures or recurring advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage storage. A buyer should check for flat spotting on tyres, perished sidewalls, and surface corrosion on the brake discs resulting from infrequent use. The suspension bushings should be examined for cracking or dry rot, as low mileage does not prevent age-related degradation of polymer and rubber materials. Overall, the documented history suggests a vehicle that has been well-kept or used sparingly, leaving few technical red flags regarding its structural integrity.
