2021 Skoda Scala 1.0L Petrol · FN21 WPW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but shows a clear trend of deferred mechanical maintenance regarding the braking system. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 30,855 miles passed, the tester flagged thin front and rear brake pads alongside pitted and scored rear brake discs. This indicates that while the car is legally on the road, the components have reached the end of their functional life and require immediate replacement to ensure optimal stopping performance and safety. The mileage pattern is consistent with a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,171 miles per year. The record shows steady progression from 16,746 miles in February 2024 to 23,276 miles in February 2025, finally reaching 30,855 miles in early 2026. This low usage suggests the car has been used for short trips or occasional commuting, which often explains the premature wear on consumables like tyres and brakes despite the low overall mileage. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the braking assembly and the tyres to verify the extent of the wear. The 2024 test noted both front tyres were near the legal limit with uneven edge wear, and the offside rear tyre suffered a nail in the sidewall, which could point to potential alignment issues or worn suspension bushes if not properly addressed. Given the 2026 advisories on discs and pads, the next owner must budget for a full rear brake overhaul, as the current owner has neglected routine replacement intervals up until the latest inspection.
