2015 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · SB65 WEP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a consistent pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative maintenance. In the most recent test in November 2025 at 48,262 miles, the car passed with an advisory for a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and unevenly. While the vehicle has avoided failures, the history reveals a recurring cycle of wear on specific components that are addressed only when they reach MOT inspection thresholds. The mileage profile is significantly low for an artwork-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,400 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between November 2021 at 21,884 miles and November 2022 at 27,592 miles, after which the vehicle has maintained a steady, low-usage trajectory. This low annual mileage often explains the observed condition of the braking system, as infrequent use can lead to surface corrosion and pitting on the discs rather than mechanical wear and tear from high-frequency friction. A buyer should prioritize an inspection of the braking system, as pitting and scoring on the front discs were noted in every test since 2022. The 2024 and 2023 records specifically highlighted a corroded and leaking rear exhaust silencer; while this may have been replaced, the buyer must verify the structural integrity of the remaining exhaust system to ensure no further hidden corrosion is present. Additionally, the uneven tyre wear noted in the 2025 advisory suggests a potential alignment issue or a worn suspension bush that should be checked to prevent premature tyre replacement.
