2015 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · WM15 WSN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates the onset of component wear-related issues. In the most recent test in January 2026 at 69,635 miles, the tester flagged wear on both the nearside and offside front suspension arm pins or bushes. While these did not result in a failure or an immediate advisory, they represent the first sign of mechanical degradation after several years of clean-record testing. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-use urban vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per year. Between March 2022 at 57,347 miles and January 2026 at 69,635 miles, the car covered 12,288 miles. This steady low accumulation suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-stress motorway mileage, though the age of the Fabia means that rubber components in the suspension may begin to dry out or perish despite the low physical mileage. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension to assess the extent of play in the arm bushes. Since both front sides were noted simultaneously, the wear is likely due to age and typical usage rather than a specific impact. The lack of defects between 2022 and 2025 suggests the previous owners generally maintained the vehicle well, but the current record indicates that the front-end assembly will likely require replacement in the near future to prevent an MOT failure.
