2016 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · YB66 ABV

The 2016 Skoda Fabia presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-28 at 81,987 miles confirming no defects. The vehicle has maintained compliance over the past three years, with no recurring mechanical issues flagged in the recorded tests. A single failed MOT on 2024-10-28 at 70,035 miles is noted, though the absence of defect details limits analysis. Subsequent tests at similar mileages show no persistent problems, suggesting the car has since resolved any prior concerns. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 10-year-old vehicle, averaging 8,199 miles annually. The 2024-10-28 tests at 70,036 and 70,035 miles—nearly identical—raise questions about data accuracy, but the subsequent 2025 test confirms no ongoing issues. No significant gaps or rapid mileage spikes are evident, indicating consistent operation. The absence of advisories or failures in the 2023 and 2022 tests further supports a clean maintenance history. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly at 81,987 miles, as older vehicles may develop wear in bushes or coil springs. The lack of brake-related defects in recent tests is reassuring, though a physical inspection of calipers and discs is recommended. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions should also be checked, as these areas often reveal hidden deterioration. The MOT record provides a reliable baseline, but a hands-on assessment is essential to confirm the car’s current state.
