2015 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · DS64 HCE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs regarding suspension and braking. The most recent test in January 2026 at 71,720 miles shows a pass only after a failure involving a fractured offside front coil spring, a malfunctioning tyre pressure monitoring system, and worn components. While the immediate faults were rectified, the recurring nature of suspension-related issues suggests that the previous owner only addressed components once they reached failure thresholds rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistent with an eleven-year-old-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,500 miles per year. Between January 2024 at 60,266 miles and January 2026 at 71,720 miles, the car covered 11,454 miles. This rate indicates regular but light use, though the low annual mileage relative to the age of the car often leads to the degradation of rubber components and metal surfaces, as evidenced by the persistent issues with suspension bushes. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the nearside front lower suspension arm bush has been flagged as worn or excessively worn across three consecutive years since 2024. The history also shows a long-term issue with brake performance, with pitted discs, binding, and fluctuating brakes noted in 2025. The uneven tyre wear, specifically on the inner edges of the offside front tyre in 2026, further indicates an alignment problem or worn suspension components that require verification to prevent premature failure of new tyres.
