2023 Skoda Scala 1.0L Petrol · GL23 RRZ

This 2023 Škoda Scala has high mileage for its age, averaging about 16,490 miles per year. The most recent MOT, passed on 22 May 2026, followed a failure just two days earlier. The failure was for two severely damaged rear tyres described as badly perished and cut to the cords, which is a serious safety defect. Those tyres have evidently been replaced to achieve the pass. A clear and recurring pattern involves the rear brakes. Both the failed and passed MOT tests noted the rear brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored, and the rear brake pads were wearing thin. This indicates ongoing, unresolved wear on the rear braking system. While the critical tyre issue was fixed, the brake wear persists. The condition trend shows improvement regarding the major safety failure of the tyres, but the underlying brake wear remains stable and unaddressed. The high mileage for its age suggests this car has likely seen heavy use, possibly long-distance or fleet use, which correlates with accelerated wear on consumables like brakes and tyres.
