2016 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · WK65 YBZ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive mechanical care. The most recent test in May 2026 at 112,028 miles passed with new advisories for a damaged nearside front seat belt and a cracked windscreen. While the car has passed its inspections, the recurring nature of the seat belt defect across 2024 and 2026 suggests that minor interior defects are only addressed when flagged during testing. The mileage progression is consistent with a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 11,200 miles per annum. Data shows steady accumulation, with roughly 5,000 miles driven between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 4,500 miles in the final year. A significant failure occurred in April 2023 at 95,394 miles due to high carbon monoxide and lambda sensor readings. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent test, this failure indicates a past issue with engine combustion or exhaust efficiency that required intervention. A buyer should pay close attention to the current braking system and tyres during an in person inspection. The 2025 test flagged thin rear brake pads and a worn offside front tyre, which are consumables that may have been replaced or are nearing replacement again. Given the previous emissions failure, a check for any blue or black smoke or erratic engine performance is necessary to ensure the lambda sensor fix remains stable. The frayed seat belt is a known safety concern that requires immediate replacement as it has appeared as a recurring defect for multiple years.
