2019 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · CX69 ODE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift from perfect passes to reactive repairs. While the car passed its inspections between 2022 and 2024 with zero defects, the most recent test in November 2025 at 41,233 miles identified multiple failures related to consumable components. This indicates that the previous owner likely waited until the MOT deadline to address necessary wear rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a seven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,900 miles per year. Between the 2022 test at 20,528 miles and the 2025 test at 41,233 miles, the car covered 20,705 miles over three years. This low annual usage generally suggests lighter strain on the engine and drivetrain, but it can also lead to secondary issues like brake corrosion or tyre perish rot due to lack of regular use, which aligns with the pitting noted on the front brake discs. A buyer must prioritize the front braking system during a physical inspection, as the 2025 record flagged both pitted and scored brake discs alongside thin pads on both sides. The tester also noted both front tyres were worn to the legal limit with uneven edge wear, which suggests a potential alignment issue or incorrect inflation. You should inspect the suspension bushes for perished rubber and verify that the flagged brake components have actually been replaced with quality parts since the November test.
