2015 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · GD65 KNE

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward deferred component replacement. While it passed the latest test in December 2025 at 114,249 miles, the tester flagged thin rear brake pads and pitted, scored rear discs. This indicates a departure from the clean records seen in previous years, suggesting that the current owner is allowing consumable items to degrade and only addressing faults as they approach failure rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage accumulation is consistent with an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 10,400 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 85,528 miles in late 2021 to 114,249 miles by late 2025. The gap of roughly 4,000 miles between the December 2024 and 2025 tests aligns with the wear patterns observed in 2024, where both front tyres were found close to the legal limit and worn unevenly. A buyer should conduct a thorough inspection of the braking system to ensure the pitting on the rear discs has not progressed to structural cracking or excessive thinning. Given the uneven wear noted on the front tyres in 2024, a physical check of the front geometry and suspension bushes is necessary to rule out alignment issues. There is currently no evidence of structural corrosion or emission failures in the history, but the transition from defect-free tests to mechanical advisories suggests the vehicle is entering a phase that requires more frequent investment in hardware.
