Have just took my Fabia SEL 1.2 TSI 110 for its second service (2 year old) and it has been kept in for repair due to a leaking right front driveshaft seal.

My concern is that as the car has only done 9213 miles from new is this a common fault and likely to happen again outside warranty.

Any one else experienced similar problem?

2015, 32000 km and no.

 

First I've heard.

No ... ditto - July 2015, 36,000km (22000+ miles) - no problem.

No, it's not a common occurrence. In fact, it's quite rare these days on a young car. Yours is just a fluke fault I suspect. If it gets to 10 years old and high mileage then maybe keep and eye on them, as with all cars. 

Thanks for your replies - I guess I have just been unlucky and fortunately it has been resolved under warranty.

Just had my Fabia tsi sel 90 in for its second service 13.5k everything came back ok. I think you have just been unlucky Joe

I always get black thoughts when I see a leak around a diff or driveshaft - the words "bearing issues" tends to come to mind, I don't mind being wrong though!

I know its an Octavia, but I had a split driveshaft/CV boot at 7k miles on mine:
