2017 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · GJ17 AAE

The vehicle holds a current MOT pass as of 19 February 2026 at 67,924 miles, but the most recent test records front and rear brake discs worn, pitted or scored (1.1.14 (a) (ii)). The pattern of brake‑disc advisories shows a progressive deterioration: inner front discs first noted in March 2021 at 24,740 miles, followed by both front discs in March 2022 at 31,030 miles, rear discs in March 2023 at 41,625 miles, front discs again in March 2025 at 61,028 miles, and now both front and rear at 67,924 miles. This indicates a worsening trend rather than stabilisation or improvement. Mileage accumulation is steady at roughly 7,500 miles per year, aligning with typical usage for a six‑year‑old vehicle. Tests have been carried out each year in March, with the latest moved to February 2026, showing consistent inspection intervals. No significant gaps appear in the record, and the data is complete across the period. Inspect the braking system thoroughly; the repeated disc wear indicates either heavy use or delayed pad replacement, so measure disc thickness, check for scoring, and examine calipers and pads. Tyre condition is also a focus; the March 2024 test recorded front tyres at the 3 mm legal limit, suggesting uneven wear likely linked to suspension geometry or alignment—check tread depth, side‑wall condition and look for abnormal wear patterns. Suspension bushes and coil springs should be examined for corrosion or cracking, and the chassis inspected for rust, especially around wheel arches and underbody welds, as the vehicle’s age raises the possibility of structural degradation. An exhaust system check is advisable given the mileage, and any emissions advisory should be followed up.
