2007 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Petrol · HT07 JGO

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-13 showed the vehicle passed but highlighted ongoing brake and tyre issues. Front brake pads had approximately 2000 miles of life left, and front brake discs were pitted or scored but not seriously weakened. Both front tyres were worn close to the legal limit, with edge wear noted. These findings align with repeated issues seen in earlier MOTs, indicating a consistent pattern of wear. A 2024-08-15 MOT revealed a failure due to an offside headlamp not working, alongside the same brake and tyre concerns. This suggests unresolved issues from prior checks, as the 2024-08-15 pass and fail on the same date imply inconsistent repairs or oversight. The 2023 and 2022 MOTs also recorded similar brake pad and disc wear, with tyres nearing legal limits. The pattern shows no significant worsening but confirms long-term, recurring problems. The vehicle’s mileage of 78,530 miles over 19 years equates to roughly 4,133 miles per year, which is low for its age. This could indicate light use, but it also raises concerns about potential under-use, such as prolonged periods of inactivity.
