2013 Skoda Fabia 1.6L Diesel · OV63 PJU

The most recent MOT on 2025-10-28 recorded two issues: front brake discs were worn, pitted, or scored (but not seriously weakened) and the nearside front suspension arm bush was worn. These align with earlier findings, indicating persistent brake disc wear and a recurring suspension component issue. The 2025 MOT was passed, but the same brake disc problem was noted in 2022 and 2024, suggesting a gradual degradation pattern. Tyre-related issues have been consistent since 2022, including cuts, damage, and structural failures. A 2022 failed MOT highlighted a deep tyre cut and a rear tyre with a lump caused by separation, while later MOTs recorded minor cuts and sidewall damage. These suggest ongoing tyre wear, potentially linked to low mileage or improper storage, though no major structural failures have recurred. The vehicle’s mileage of 47,038 miles over 13 years equates to roughly 3,618 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could indicate infrequent use or periods of inactivity, which may accelerate wear on non-driven components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. However, the absence of major drivetrain or engine faults in the MOT history suggests the car has not been subjected to heavy usage. The trend shows some stability in critical systems, but the recurring brake disc and tyre issues warrant attention.
