2018 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · CK18 FEM

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy having passed its most recent MOT in March 2026 at 30,593 miles. While the mechanical components have passed without major failures, the maintenance history shows a worsening trend concerning tyre condition. The tester flagged both nearside and offside front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit with edge wear, a recurring issue that was first noted during the March 2022 test. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-usage patterns, with only roughly 3,000 miles covered between the March 2025 and another 3,100 miles by March 2026. This low mileage often suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods, which correlates with the age-related rubber such as tread lifting and stepping observed on the rear tyres recorded between 2023 and 2025. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and steering geometry, as the recurring edge wear on the front tyres across multiple years indicates a persistent alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The history of tread lifting on the rear tyres suggests the rubber compound may be hardening or degrading due to age and inactivity rather than wear. Check for sidewall cracking in all tyres and ensure the front tyres are replaced immediately to prevent structural failure despite the low mileage.
