2015 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · FH65 LCW

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear trend of improving maintenance. The most recent test in December 2025 at 101,193 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical issues have been addressed. This follows a successful pass in December 2024 where only a minor lighting intensity issue was noted, suggesting that the current owner is proactive regarding MOT-related reactive repairs. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,200 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between January 2023 and December 2023, where the car covered 7,213 miles in eleven months, but since then the usage has maintained a steady rate of roughly 5,500 miles per annum. This predictable usage suggests regular driving which is generally better for rubber components and braking systems than long periods of inactivity followed by sudden long-distance commuting. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly, as the December 2022 failure at 80,552 miles highlighted excessively worn bushes on both front suspension arm pins. While these were clearly replaced given the subsequent passes, the high mileage suggests other rubber components or shock absorbers may be nearing their service life. The record also shows a history of rear brake wear, with defects noted in late 2022 and early 2023. A physical inspection should verify the current thickness of the rear pads and check for surface pitting on the discs to ensure the replacement cycle is not due prematurely again.
