2015 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · DS64 HBP

The most recent MOT from December 2025 shows a pass, but it reveals a significant increase in advisory items compared to previous years. While the car has been relatively clean in the past, the latest inspection flags multiple issues across the suspension, tyres, and braking system. There is a clear pattern of emerging wear. The vehicle has moved from a clean record in early 2025 to a list of defects involving suspension arm bushes, perished tyres, and pitted brake discs. This suggests the vehicle's condition is currently on a worsening trend, likely due to age-related degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces. The mileage of 67,511 over 11 years averages roughly 6,100 miles per year. This is typical for its age and suggests regular, moderate use rather than heavy commercial work or long periods of sitting idle. However, the recent onset of suspension and brake issues indicates that even with lower annual mileage, age-related perishability is now becoming a factor. The combination of worn suspension bushes and pitted brake discs suggests that while the car is mechanically functional, it is entering a phase where maintenance costs will likely increase. Before purchasing, you should inspect the condition of the suspension components for play and check the brake discs closely for heavy corrosion or uneven wear.
