2019 Skoda Scala 1.0L Petrol · AF69 THK

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy state, having achieved a pass in its most recent test in September 2025 at 27,123 miles. This indicates an improving maintenance trend following a period of minor advisories in the previous year. The absence of defects in the latest record suggests that the owner addressed the previously flagged issues, ensuring the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,875 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, moving from 10,742 miles in October 2022 to 27,123 miles by September 2025. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests can lead to rubber components degrading or brake surfaces corroding if the car sits stationary for extended periods. A physical inspection should focus on the components highlighted during the September 2024 test at 21,653 miles. The tester noted a pitted nearside rear brake disc and light misting on the nearside front shock absorber. While these did not cause a failure in 2025, a buyer should verify that the shock absorber has not developed a significant leak and that the brake disc was replaced or cleaned. Additionally, the previous report of perishing tyres in 2024 suggests the rubber may be age-related rather than tread depth, necessitating a check for sidewall cracking.
