2014 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · SA14 GWF

The most recent MOT in September 2025 was a pass, but it flagged the offside rear tyre as worn close to the legal limit and wearing on its edge. This is not a one-off issue; it is a clear and consistent pattern. The same offside rear tyre fault has been noted in every single MOT test back to 2022. This strongly suggests a persistent problem with that wheel, likely related to incorrect wheel alignment, a tracking issue, or a worn suspension component causing uneven tyre wear. This is the primary risk area you must investigate. There is also a recurring advisory for the nearside front brake hose being slightly chafed, which was present in 2023 and 2024. While noted as minor, a chafed hose can lead to a dangerous brake fluid leak over time and indicates it has not been replaced despite being flagged multiple times. The overall trend of the MOT history is stable; the car is passing its tests, but the same wear items are not being properly rectified, just managed to get through each annual check. The car has covered just over 63,000 miles in about 12 years, which is low average annual mileage. This could mean it has had light use, but it could also indicate periods where it stood idle.
