2016 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · DF66 WKT

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a concerning lack of attention regarding tyre condition. While it has passed all recent inspections, the November 2025 test at 30,625 miles flagged the front tyre as being worn close to the legal limit and specifically on the inner edge. This indicates a recurring issue that mirrors the November 2024 test where both front tyres showed similar wear. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,062 miles per year. The data shows steady, gradual accumulation of mileage, moving from 20,958 miles in 2021 to 30,625 miles in late 2025. This low usage generally suggests less strain on the engine and drivetrain, but it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components due to age alone, which is consistent with the findings noted in the record. A buyer must inspect the front suspension and wheel alignment, as the repeated inner-edge wear on the tyres in 2024 and 2025 suggests a persistent geometry fault or worn suspension components. Furthermore, the history shows that front brake discs were pitted and scored in both 2021 and 2022. Given the low mileage, these issues are likely caused by corrosion from the vehicle sitting rather than heavy use. A physical inspection should also check for perishing in the tyre sidewalls, as noted in the 2023 report.
