2018 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · AF18 PVA

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 16 September 2025 at 38,209 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the vehicle's life. Annual mileage has been consistently low for an eight-year-old car. The record shows 18,181 miles at the 27 September 2021 test, rising to 23,068 by 17 September 2022, 27,787 by 13 September 2023, 33,174 by 23 September 2024, and 38,209 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 4,800 miles per year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The clean history across all five tests suggests the previous keeper maintained the car to a standard that avoided advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion. No recurring faults or structural concerns appear in the DVSA data, so the buyer faces no red flags from the record itself. The low and steady mileage implies lighter use, though prolonged standing between short journeys can age tyres, flat-spot rubber, and allow brake calipers to seize if moisture settles. A pre-purchase inspection should still confirm coil springs, subframe condition, and exhaust emissions in person. Given the absence of any advisories, the Fabia's MOT trail reflects disciplined upkeep rather than deferred consumable replacement. The buyer should nonetheless verify actual tyre tread depth, brake disc wear, and underbody structural integrity on the ramp, as these items are not always captured in a pass result.
