2022 Skoda Fabia S MPI 1.0L Petrol · ND22 FLR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passing MOT on August 4, 2025. However, the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The car failed the test that same day due to multiple critical safety defects that required immediate rectification. While the subsequent pass indicates these faults were addressed, the trend suggests that components were only replaced once they reached failure thresholds rather than during scheduled preventative maintenance. At 19,634 miles, the 2022 Skoda Fabia shows a significantly low annual mileage, averaging approximately 5,000 miles per year. This low usage typically implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, but it also explains the degradation of rubber components. The 2025 failure specifically flagged perishing and cracking on all four tyres, a common symptom of a vehicle that has sat stationary for extended periods, allowing the rubber to dry out despite adequate tread depth. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension to ensure the offside and nearside arm bushes flagged in August 2025 have been replaced with high-quality parts. The tester also noted thin front brake pads below the 1.5mm limit and pitted brake discs. You should verify that the current brake discs show no signs of uneven wear and that the pads were replaced alongside the discs. Given the history of tyre per, check the sidewalls of the tyres for any further cracking to ensure they are not aged out of use despite the previous failure.
