2014 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · GK14 YRP

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding wear-and-tear components. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 75,359 miles passed, the tester flagged advisories for pitted and scored brake discs on both front wheels. This follows a pattern from March 2025 where the front inner brake disc was also noted as worn, indicating that the braking system is reaching the end of its effective life and requires attention. The mileage profile is consistent with a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,280 miles per year. Between March 2023 at 61,756 miles and March 2024 at 68,095 miles, the car covered roughly 6,300 miles, suggesting steady low-intensity usage. However, the failure in March 2024 at 68,076 miles due to tyres and anti-roll bar linkage indicates that basic maintenance is only addressed when an MOT failure occurs rather than through preventative servicing. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the front suspension geometry. The record notes an offside front lower suspension arm ball joint with play in 2025 and a perished anti-roll bar linkage dust cover in 2024. These recurring issues suggest the rubber components and joints are degrading due to age rather than mileage. Additionally, the front brake discs should be measured for thickness, as the persistent pitting and scoring across three consecutive years suggest the rotors are not being replaced until they become dangerously thin.
