2015 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · OV65 GFA

The vehicle remains in a roadworthy condition, though the maintenance trend shows a slight decline in consumable upkeep. The latest test in February 2026 at 28,712 miles passed but introduced the first recorded advisories for both the offside and nearside front tyres being worn to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This marks a shift from the previous three years of testing where the vehicle passed with no recorded defects or advisories whatsoever. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,610 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between September 2022 and March 2023, where the car covered only 75 miles in six months. However, usage has increased recently, with the vehicle covering over 24,000 miles between March 2023 and February 2026. While the low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and internal corrosion within the braking system. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension geometry to determine the cause of the edge wear noted on the tyres, which often indicates alignment issues or worn suspension bushes. Given the low annual mileage and periods of inactivity, the brake discs should be checked for pitting or corrosion, and the calipers tested for signs of binding. The lack of any structural advisories or mechanical failures across the five-year history is a positive indicator, but the recent tyre condition suggests the vehicle now requires immediate attention to basic maintainable items.
