2015 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · DF65 LFG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent inspection in October 2025 at 70,265 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory as the mechanical defects identified in the previous year have been addressed. While the 2024 test resulted in a failure for brake and suspension issues, the most recent record indicates no outstanding defects, suggesting the owner has performed the necessary repairs to maintain safety standards. At 70,265 miles, the eleven-year-old Skoda Fabia has averaged approximately 6,400 miles per year. This figure aligns with typical usage patterns for its age and suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy strain. The mileage progression is steady, with roughly 5,700 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2024 tests and another 4,700 miles covered since the last inspection. This consistency indicates predictable wear on components rather than long periods of neglect. A buyer should focus specifically on the front shock absorbers, as the record shows light misting of oil consistently from 2022, 2023, and 2024. Although this did not cause a failure, it indicates a slow leak that may eventually require replacement if damping performance degrades. The rear service brakes, which caused a failure in 2024, should be verified during a test drive to ensure the binding issue was fully resolved and the calipers are not still sticking. Additionally, the exhaust sleeve noted as corroded in late 2024 should be inspected for further structural rust to ensure the system is not compromised beyond the initial report.
