2015 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · SM64 XOV

The 2015 Skoda Fabia presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 12 November 2025 at 34,545 miles with zero defects recorded. That clean bill of health followed a fractured nearside front coil spring failure just five days earlier on 7 November 2025, also at 34,545 miles, indicating the defect was identified and rectified promptly within the same MOT cycle. The trajectory from 2022 through 2025 shows a vehicle that has moved from recurring suspension advisories toward a fully defect-free result, suggesting attentive ownership in recent years. The mileage profile is notably low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 3,140 miles per year. The record shows a steady and consistent accumulation pattern: 23,244 miles in November 2022, 26,645 miles in November 2023, 30,281 miles in November 2024, and 34,545 miles in November 2025, representing approximately 3,400 to 3,600 miles per annum in recent years. There are no anomalous gaps or sudden jumps in the odometer readings, and the annual MOT entries provide a continuous and reliable service record with no missing years. The vehicle appears to have been used for short, regular journeys rather than sitting idle for extended periods. The MOT history flags two recurring areas of concern that a buyer should inspect in person. Suspension components have drawn attention across multiple tests: front suspension arm pins or bushes were flagged as worn on 16 November 2023 at 26,645 miles on both nearside and offside, and the nearside front coil spring fractured on 7 November 2025 at 34,545 miles. Although the spring was replaced before the retest, the earlier bush wear suggests the front suspension has experienced progressive deterioration, and a physical inspection of all bushes, ball joints, and remaining springs for cracking or perishing is warranted. Brake discs were noted as worn, pitted, or scored on both front axles during the 15 November 2024 test at 30,281 miles. While that advisory did not result in a failure, it signals that braking components have been operating under conditions that promote surface degradation, possibly due to the low-mileage, short-trip usage pattern. A buyer should check the current condition of front and rear brake discs, pads, and calipers for uneven wear, corrosion, or binding. Given the low annual mileage, also inspect tyre sidewalls for age-related cracking and examine the exhaust system and underbody for surface corrosion that can develop on vehicles used predominantly for short journeys.
