2015 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · DK15 SDU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend regarding engine efficiency and braking components. While it passed the March 2026 test at 23,263 miles, it had failed just days prior due to multiple emission failures. The high carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, and lambda readings, combined with an inoperative engine management warning light, indicate a significant combustion issue or sensor failure that was only addressed in time for the retest. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 23,263 is exceptionally low for a 2015 Skoda Fabia, averaging only approximately 2,115 miles per year. This low usage often suggests the car has sat for long periods, which frequently leads to degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry. Between March 2024 and March 2026, the vehicle covered just 2,910 miles, yet the record shows recurring mechanical advisories that suggest the lack of regular use may be contributing to the wear tear rather than high-mileage stress. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the braking system and suspension geometry. The rear brake discs have been flagged as worn since at least 2024, progressing from minor wear to pitted and scored by 2026, which indicates the discs are likely sitting long enough to corrode. Additionally, the failure of the offside front suspension arm bush in March 2024 necessitates a physical check of all bushings to ensure no further cracking has occurred common in low-mileage vehicles that age. The emission failure in 2026 also demands a diagnostic scan to ensure the oxygen sensors and fuel system have been properly rectified and not merely cleared.
