2018 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · LS68 TYV

In the July 21, 2026 test at 21,437 miles the vehicle passed, with the tester noting minimum coolant level and slight damage to the off‑side front and both rear tyres (5.2.3 (d) (ii)). The overall roadworthiness status remains pass, but the recurring tyre perishing and suspension wear suggest a maintenance pattern that is neither steadily improving nor deteriorating. The recorded mileage of 21,437 miles equates to roughly 2,680 miles per year, a low figure for an eight‑year‑old car. Mileage increments between tests are modest, rising from 13,165 miles on July 24, 2023 to 13,183 miles three days later, and then to 16,656 miles by July 22, 2024, showing consistent use rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore inspect the lower front suspension arm pin and bush, which the 2023 tests flagged for wear that did not cause excessive movement, and verify that the rear suspension bushes are sound. The tyre history demands close examination of tread depth, sidewall condition and any hidden damage. Inspect the brake components, including the discs and calipers, for binding or uneven wear, and examine the exhaust system and structural chassis for corrosion, especially around the wheel arches. Overall, the car is presently roadworthy, but the recurring suspension and tyre faults indicate that immediate attention to those items is required to maintain safety and reliability.
