2015 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · OW15 DFD

The Skoda Fabia currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 5 June 2026, confirming its roadworthiness as of the most recent inspection. While the vehicle passed, the history indicates a worsening trend regarding front suspension components. The advisories issued in 2024 concerning split rear bushes on the front suspension arms have persisted into the current test, suggesting that these rubber components have not been replaced despite being flagged for two consecutive years. The vehicle has covered 76,460 miles over its eleven-year lifespan, averaging approximately 6,950 miles per annum. This usage pattern is consistent with typical domestic driving, showing no signs of extended periods of disuse or excessive annual mileage. The record remains relatively clean outside of the suspension and brake-related wear, indicating that the engine and drivetrain have likely received standard maintenance intervals without major mechanical failures. Prospective buyers should prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension arm bushes, as the recurring advisories indicate they are approaching the end of their service life and will likely require replacement to avoid future test failures. The 2024 record also noted pitting and scoring on both front and rear brake discs, which warrants a check of the remaining friction material thickness and surface condition. Given the history of shock absorber failure in June 2023, ensure the current dampers show no signs of leaking or uneven rebound during a test drive to confirm that the previous repair remains effective.
