2017 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · FV17 AAZ

The vehicle passed its latest MOT on 2026‑07‑09 at 56,163 miles, yet the tester recorded front tyre damage and corroded rear axle spring mounts, indicating that wear persists despite a clean overall result. No major structural failure was declared, but the recurring tyre cracking and suspension bush wear point to a slow but steady deterioration. Mileage has risen from 10,526 miles in January 2020 to 56,163 miles by July 2026, averaging roughly 6,200 miles per year, a rate consistent with normal use and with no extended periods of inactivity recorded. The incremental jumps of about 10,000 to 12,000 miles between successive tests show regular usage rather than long storage. A buyer should focus on the suspension components that have repeatedly shown excessive play or worn bushes, especially the front lower wishbone and rear spring mounts. The rear brake discs have been flagged as worn, pitted or scored in three of the last five tests, suggesting they may be approaching the legal thickness limit. Tyre sidewalls exhibit cracking and edge wear across multiple years, a sign that the rubber is aging and may need replacement before the next test. Corrosion on the rear axle spring mounts, noted in the most recent test, warrants a close visual inspection for underlying structural integrity. Addressing these items will clarify whether the car remains roadworthy or requires remedial work.
