2015 Skoda Fabia 1.4L Diesel · SC15 UNX

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 1 September 2025. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has a consistent history of passing tests with minimal major defects over the last six years. The only recorded failure was a minor issue with the windscreen washer system in 2020, which indicates a vehicle that has generally been kept in a roadworthy state without chronic mechanical failures or recurring structural issues. With a recorded mileage of 113,801 miles over an eleven year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 10,346 miles per year. This is considered typical usage for a car of this age and type. While this level of mileage does not suggest excessive wear, it does mean the vehicle is entering a phase where high-wear consumables, drivetrain mounts, and suspension components will require closer scrutiny to ensure they have been replaced in line with manufacturer intervals. Immediate attention is required regarding the front tyres, which were noted as being worn close to the legal limit and specifically worn on the edges during the latest inspection. This uneven wear pattern often indicates a misalignment of the steering geometry or worn suspension bushes. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for any knocking or clunking from the front end when traversing uneven surfaces and check if the vehicle pulls to one side under light steering or braking, as this would confirm the need for a professional four-wheel alignment. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of wear on the rear brake pads and discs between 2019 and 2020, characterized by pitting and scoring. While these were listed as advisories, the buyer must verify through service records that the rear braking system has been fully overhauled since that period. On the test drive, be alert for any shuddering through the brake pedal or a soft pedal feel, and physically inspect the rear discs for heavy corrosion or lip formation, which would indicate that the previous advisories were neglected.
