2015 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · ML15 EHS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 December 2025 at 91,357 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, following a similarly clean pass in December 2024 at 84,652 miles. This suggests that previous mechanical issues have been addressed and the vehicle is currently being maintained to a high standard. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical usage pattern for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,300 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 32,844 miles in March 2018 to the current 91,357 miles. There are no significant gaps in testing or periods of unexplained inactivity, which indicates regular use and consistent compliance with annual inspection requirements. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and damping components. The records show a history of issues in this area, specifically with front shock absorber oil misting and reduced damping effect noted in April 2022, and worn lower suspension arm bushes flagged in February 2023. While the recent clean passes suggest these components were replaced or repaired, a manual check of the shock absorbers for fresh leaks and a test of the suspension bushings for play is advisable. The brake history also warrants attention. The tester flagged thin brake pads in February 2021 and worn, pitted rear brake discs in February 2023. Although the 2025 test was clear, checking the remaining thickness of the pads and the surface condition of the discs will confirm if the recent maintenance has been thorough. Tyre condition has been a recurring minor issue, with failures for cuts and structural lumps in 2019 and 2022, so verifying the current tread depth and sidewall integrity is a necessary final step.
