2015 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · WH15 EYY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent MOT test on 11 August 2025 at 114,275 miles followed an immediate failure due to critical parking brake defects and a worn tyre. While the vehicle passed after these rectifications, the presence of a worn parking brake lever pivot and excessive movement indicates that safety-critical components were only addressed once they reached a point of legal non-compliance. With a recorded mileage of 114,275 miles over 11 years, the vehicle averages approximately 10,400 miles per year. This aligns with typical usage patterns for a car of this age. The data shows consistent use, with roughly 12,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 11,000 miles in the year prior up to that. This steady accumulation suggests the car has not sat for long periods, which explains the gradual wear on rubber components and mechanical linkages. A buyer should focus their inspection on the suspension and braking systems. The front shock absorbers were flagged for oil misting as far back as 2022 at 78,039 miles and again in 2023 at 90,122 miles, suggesting the seals are nearing total failure. Furthermore, the recurring front suspension arm bushes noted in 2023 indicate that the front-end geometry should be checked for excessive play or uneven wear. The parking brake mechanism has proven a recurring point of failure; the buyer must verify that the recent replacement of the pivot and adjustment actually resolved the issue rather than providing a temporary fix.
