2016 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · YL66 AFO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent inspection. The November 2025 test at 43,716 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. While the record shows two previous failures in November 2024 and November 2025, these appear to be administrative or procedural rather than mechanical, as no specific defects were documented for those failures. The absence of recurring advisories suggests that the vehicle has maintained a consistent standard of upkeep throughout its recent testing history. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle. The record shows a steady progression from 40,855 miles in October 2023 to 43,716 miles in November 2025. This averages to approximately 1,430 miles per year over the last two years, which is significantly lower than the typical UK average. This low usage pattern suggests the car has seen light use or has been subject to long periods of inactivity, which can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as perished rubber components or seized calipers despite the low mileage. A physical inspection should focus on the effects of infrequent use. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or suspension issues, a buyer should check for age-related degradation in the suspension bushes and coil springs. Given the low annual mileage, I recommend inspecting the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion and checking the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat-spotting. The lack of recorded defects in the MOT history is a positive indicator, but the low mileage necessitates a closer look at any rubber seals or fluid degradation that an MOT test might not fully capture.
