2020 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · LL69 YKC

A consistent record of passing MOT tests is tempered by recurring advisories related to front-end wear and tyre degradation. While the latest inspection on 10 July 2026 was clear of defects, the preceding test in February 2026 identified wear to both nearside and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes, alongside perishing rear tyres. This indicates a trend of age-related degradation and consumable wear rather than structural failure. The recorded mileage of 35,329 miles over approximately six years represents a low annual average of roughly 5,888 miles. Such a usage profile often means that rubber components, such as tyres and suspension bushes, are more prone to perishing and cracking due to age and inactivity rather than high-mileage friction. This is evidenced by the 2026 advisories regarding the condition of the rear tyres despite the low overall odometer reading. Prospective buyers should focus on the front suspension linkages, specifically the arm pins and bushes flagged in early 2026. During a test drive, listen for knocking or clicking sounds when traversing speed bumps or turning the steering wheel at low speeds. The 2024 record also noted thin front brake pads; verify that these have been replaced and feel for any vibration or judder through the brake pedal during deceleration. The tyre history shows a pattern of wear and age-related cracking across both axles, with front tyres flagged in 2024 and rear tyres in 2026. Confirm that a full set of fresh tyres has been fitted and inspect the tread for uneven wear, which could suggest a need for wheel alignment. Finally, ensure the TPMS warning noted in 2024 is no longer active by checking the dashboard for any remaining warning indicators.
