2015 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · DS64 HCK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift towards worsening mechanical condition regarding suspension components. While the car passed its previous three tests without defects, the November 2025 result introduced several advisories related to the front suspension and rear braking. This suggests that while the vehicle has been maintained, parts are now beginning to reach the end of their functional life due to age rather than mileage. The mileage pattern is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,367 miles per year. There is a visible gap in records between January 2022 and December 2022, where the car covered roughly 7,500 miles, followed by very consistent usage patterns in the subsequent years. This low annual mileage is generally beneficial for the engine and drivetrain, but it can ( to the degradation of rubber components like bushes and seals, which aligns with the issues identified in the latest test. A prospective buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of the play in the anti-roll bar linkage and the control arm bushes. Because the adviser noted debonding and wear, these are areas that will likely require replacement shortly to prevent further handling issues or uneven tyre wear. Additionally, the buyer should verify the nearside rear brake to ensure the noted binding is not causing excessive heat or uneven pad wear, which could lead to premature failure of the braking system if left unaddressed.
