2008 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · AG58 LSY

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass in its most recent inspection on 29 September 2025 at 155,875 miles. This result indicates that the mechanical and safety issues identified in previous years have been addressed. While the history shows a period of intermittent failures with re-tests in both 2023 and 2024, the subsequent passes without advisories suggest the current owner is proactive in rectifying faults to maintain the MOT test standard. At 155,875 miles over 18 years, the Skoda Fabia has averaged approximately 8,660 miles per year, which aligns closely with typical UK usage for a vehicle of this age. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 1,846 miles recorded between October 2023 and September 2024, and another 1,551 miles between September 2024 and September 2025. This steady mileage suggests the car has not suffered from long periods of standing which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components and the seizing of the braking system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension components and structural integrity, as these are common areas of wear on older Fabia models. Although the recent record is clean, the previous failures suggest the vehicle may have required work on components like worn bushes or corrosion on the sills and subframe previously. Given the high mileage, a thorough check for oil leaks around the engine and the condition of the drivetrain is necessary to ensure that the recent clean pass reflects a well-maintained machine rather than a temporary fix for underlying issues.
