2018 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · BG68 UHO

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. The most recent test in October 2025 at 18,193 miles resulted in a pass with a single advisory for a slightly distorted offside front wheel. This indicates a minor defect rather than a mechanical or structural failure, suggesting that the vehicle has remained in good operational condition since its clean 2024 inspection. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old car, averaging approximately 2,274 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-impact usage, moving from 9,576 miles in 2021 to 18,193 miles in late 2025. While low mileage typically implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests associated with such low figures can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or brake corrosion due to inactivity, though the MOT record does not flag any specific fluid or seal-related issues. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front wheel to assess the distortion noted in the 2025 record, as a bent rim can cause vibrations at higher speeds. The history also shows recurring issues with tyres, specifically a nearside front tyre damage in 2021 and the use of a spare wheel in subsequent years. It is essential to verify that the current tyres are of matching size and age across the axle to ensure proper handling and safety. Given the low mileage, checking the brake discs for surface pitting or seized calipers is also advisable, as infrequently used vehicles often develop surface rust on the braking system.
