2015 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · EO65 EXF

The vehicle maintains a current MOT status valid until November 2026, following a successful pass at 68,723 miles in November 2025. While the car passed its most recent inspection, the maintenance trend shows a recurring pattern of neglect regarding consumable items. The failure in November 2025 due to a tyre cut reaching the ply and multiple tyres worn to the legal limit indicates that the previous owner deferred basic safety maintenance until the point of failure. This suggests a reactive rather than proactive approach to vehicle care. The recorded mileage of 68,723 miles over eleven years averages roughly 6,250 miles annually, which is consistent with light to moderate domestic use. The accumulation of miles has been steady throughout the history, with no significant gaps or periods of prolonged inactivity that might otherwise lead to seized components or dried seals. The car has covered approximately 9,500 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests, confirming it remains in active service rather than sitting idle. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough inspection of the suspension and wheel assemblies. The history of misting shock absorbers across multiple test cycles suggests that the damping system is nearing the end of its effective service life. Furthermore, the 2024 record noted distorted road wheels, which can cause vibrations and premature wear on wheel bearings or steering components. You should examine the front suspension bushes for play and verify that the wheels run true during a test drive. The braking system also requires scrutiny, as previous advisories highlighted pitted and corroded discs alongside thinning pads. Although these parts were not flagged as failures in the most recent test, the history of corrosion suggests the vehicle may have been parked in damp conditions or driven infrequently enough to allow surface rust to form on the friction surfaces. Ensure the pedal feel is firm and that there is no grinding or pulling under heavy braking, as the recurring advisories point toward a need for a comprehensive brake service in the near future.
