2011 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · MF61 AAN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward age-related degradation rather than acute mechanical failure. The most recent test in October 2025 at 65,944 miles flagged several issues including a damaged windscreen, pitted and scored front brake discs, and perishing rear tyres. While the car passed, these entries indicate that the vehicle is entering a phase where rubber components and metal surfaces are failing due to time and exposure rather than heavy use. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 15-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-usage patterns, for example, only 1,258 miles recorded between October 2023 and October 2024, and just 844 miles in the following year. This low mileage explains the lack of wear on drivetrain components, but it also correlates with the recurring issues of perished tyres and aged rubber-based parts, as vehicles that sit for long periods are prone to dry rot and material cracking regardless of tread depth. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and rubber components. The record shows a history of perished tyres in 2017 and 2018, with further cracking noted in 2025, suggesting the current tyres may be aged despite sufficient tread. The pitted front brake discs noted in 2025 indicate surface corrosion, likely caused by the low-frequency use of the vehicle. Additionally, the previous failure for a binding offside brake in 2017 warrants a check of the rear calipers and sliders to ensure they have not seized due to inactivity.
