2017 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · SF67 YNE

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward stability following a period of reactive repairs. The most recent test in October 2025 at 42,237 miles indicates the car passed with only an advisory for a front tyre worn close to the legal limit on the edge. This is a significant improvement over the 2023 failure where multiple mechanical issues were present, suggesting the owner addressed the critical suspension and artwork concerns identified that year. The mileage profile is notably low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,700 miles per annum. Between October 2022 at 18,335 miles and October 2024 at 35,048 miles, the car covered 16,713 miles. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, the intervals between tests can sometimes mask degradation in rubber-based components due to stationary time. The consistent annual testing pattern suggests the vehicle is used for short-distance local travel rather than high-mileage commuting. A buyer should specifically inspect the front suspension assembly during a physical evaluation. The records from 2022 and 2023 highlight a recurring issue with the lower suspension arm pins and bushes, which eventually led to a failure in 2023. Although these were reportedly rectified to pass the subsequent tests, a physical check for lateral play or further cracking in the bushings is necessary to ensure the repairs were of lasting quality and are not currently failing again. Attention should also be paid to the front alignment and tyre wear. The 2025 advisory regarding a front tyre worn specifically on the edge often indicates a tracking or camber issue caused by worn suspension components. Given the 2023 failure for both tread depth and suspension bushes, verifying that the' geometry is correctly set is essential to preventages degradation of the next set of tyres.
