2021 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · GL21 HFD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy having passed its most recent inspection in April 2026 at 22,898 miles. While the car maintains a passing status, the maintenance trend shows a clear decline regarding rubber-related components. The transition from a clean sheet in 2024 to multiple tyre advisories in 2025 and 2026 indicates that the vehicle is suffering from age-related degradation rather than mileage. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,580 miles per year. Data shows consistent, low-interval usage, with only 68 miles recorded between the April 2024 and May 2025 tests, and another 68 miles before the most recent inspection. This suggests the car likely undergoes short local trips or sits for extended periods, which explains the premature perishing of the tyres and the early wear on brake components despite the low odometer-read distance. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of all four tyres, as the April 2026 test flagged perishing and cracking on three of them. This condition is a result of dry rot from low use and necessitates immediate replacement regardless of remaining tread depth. Additionally, the 2025 advisory regarding worn front brake discs suggests the rotors should be checked for pitting or uneven wear, as low-mileage vehicles often develop surface corrosion when the brakes are not used frequently.
