Thanks e-Roottoot and xman. This has definitely given me something to work with. Last set of leads I had installed were Bosch ones and they were only put in December 2020, which made me start looking at forums etc to see how common an issue it is and how long they should be lasting. It's now making me think it could be something else, which is impacting the leads as car definitely runs better once leads have been changed. Looks like I new to find a new garage though now to take my car too as well

Also further info - car broke down on motorway last year - RAC guy changed the ignition coil as they thought this was the issue but this made no difference. On this occasion it was the HT leads that needed replacing ( and when i checked how long it had been since they were last change it was roughly same time the previous year)

Spark plugs were replaced a couple of years ago along with the HT leads and yet leads had to be replaced again last year. Didn't do the work myself so unsure if no 3 lead was changed with armour one. But they leads were purchased from a retail motor shop so I guess probably not.

It's a 1.2 TSI

I am finding that I am having change the HT leads on my skoda fabia 61 plate on a yearly basis. I don't much mileage per year between 6-8k. Is this normal? Any ideas? Is there is an issues that I maybe I'm missing as to why I am having to replace them so often. Seen other posts about lead melting and wire with the lead being affected - Sorted this issue a few years ago or thought I had but still finding that I am having to change them yearly. Can tell when they are going as cat becomes more 'jittery' . Only had car 5 years and so far changed them every year I have had the car.
