2021 Skoda Fabia Colour Edition TSI S-A 1.0L Petrol · WR21 CYV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on April 15 2026 at 23,764 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the latest result indicates a minor shift in consumable wear. While the car passed without major defects in 2026, the tester flagged the offside front tyre as being worn close to the legal limit and specifically worn on the inner edge. This suggests a potential alignment issue or uneven suspension wear that has not yet been addressed, despite the clean records from 2024 and 2025. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a five-year-old vehicle. With 23,764 miles recorded over five years, the car has averaged approximately 4,753 miles per year. This low usage typically suggests short-distance trips, which can sometimes lead to premature wear on brake components and exhaust systems. The gap between the June 2024 test at 15,615 miles and the July 2025 test at 20,974 miles shows an accumulation of over 5,000 miles in a year, which aligns with the overall low-mileage profile of the vehicle. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension to determine the cause of the inner edge tyre wear noted in the 2026 test. Checking the tracking bolts, control arm bushes, and bushings is essential to ensure the geometry is correct. The 2024 failure regarding nearside front headlamp aim was a simple adjustment issue and does not indicate deeper mechanical failure. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for brake corrosion on the discs and seized calipers, which frequently occur when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods between uses.
