2015 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · LD64 DFZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful test on January 16, 2026. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable over several years, the failure just nine days prior to the latest pass indicates a lapse in basic safety inspections. The tester identified structural failures on three tyres, the offside front, offside rear, and nearside rear units. These defects were rectified to achieve the subsequent pass, suggesting the owner addresses immediate neglected consumable items when prompted by a formal MOT failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,150 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the car covered only 1,953 miles, with another 1,897 miles recorded between early 2024 and early 2025. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it increases the risk of rubber-based parts degrading. The structural tyre tears noted in recent tests are consistent with a vehicle that sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should personally inspect the condition of the remaining tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spots, as low mileage often masks age rot. The lack of advisories in the previous years suggests the chassis and suspension have remained in good condition, but the brakes should be checked for surface corrosion or seized calipers due to infrequent use. Examine the rubber suspension bushings and wiper blades for cracking, as the low mileage has not prevented environmental-related degradation of these materials over the decade.
