2017 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · YR67 ACV

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 26 June 2026 at 69,063 miles, confirming current roadworthiness despite a failure the previous day that highlighted front suspension wear and a serious shock absorber leak; the subsequent pass indicates that remedial work was carried out and the immediate trend is improving. However, recurring advisories on suspension bushes, shock leaks and rear brake disc wear reveal ongoing mechanical concerns that a buyer must verify. Mileage has risen steadily from 18,748 miles in June 2020 to 69,063 miles in June 2026, averaging roughly 7,700 miles per year, which is typical for a nine‑year‑old car. The increments between 2023 and 2025 show consistent use of about 8,000–11,000 miles annually, and the identical odometer readings on the 25 and 26 June 2026 tests suggest the vehicle was stationary for a brief period after the prior failure. A buyer should inspect the front suspension arm pins and bushes for excessive wear, examine the near‑side front shock absorber for fluid leakage and overall condition, and measure rear brake disc thickness to assess pitting and remaining life. The tyres displaying cracking or perishing tread edges require close visual checks for sidewall damage and replacement, while any previous wiper or structural rust advisories should also be confirmed during the physical inspection.
