2015 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · VN65 NFZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding rubber-based components. While the most recent test in November 2025 at 28,135 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just one week prior at 28,108 miles. That failure revealed a critical structural cut in the nearside rear tyre and multiple other issues. The persistence of worn front suspension arm bushes indicates that the vehicle is beginning to show age-related degradation despite the low mechanical mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,558 miles per year. The data shows consistent progression from 21,256 miles in November 2022 to 28,135 miles in late 2025. This low usage explains the recurring advisories for perishing tyres. The de-lamination and cracking noted across almost every consecutive tests suggest the car likely sits for long periods, causing the rubber compounds to dry out over time rather than wearing down through regular use. A buyer must inspect the front suspension assembly closely, as the arm pin bushes have been flagged as worn in both the October 2025 and November 2025 tests. These components require replacement to prevent unpredictable handling and uneven tyre wear. The consistent history of perishing and cracking across all four tyres suggests a full set of rubber is nearing the end of its functional life regardless of tread depth. Additionally, verify the nearside windscreen wiper blade, as it caused a failure in 2025 for failing to clear the glass effectively.
