Our Verdict
This 2010 Skoda Fabia carries notable ri
The most pressing concern here is the fractured rear coil spring recorded at the 2023 MOT failure. Although the car passed a re-test the next day, you should inspect both rear springs for cracks or sagging and budget for a replacement pair, which on a Fabia of this age typically costs £150-£250 fitted. The repeated advisories on lower suspension arm pins/bushes on both nearside and offside fronts across three consecutive tests suggest these bushes are worn and likely need replacing soon; a full set of front arms is usually £120-£200 plus fitting.
The frayed Seat belt webbing on both front belts is also worth scrutinising. Seat belts are safety-critical items, and replacement units from a specialist are typically £80-£150 each plus fitting, so factor that into any offer. The exhaust sleeve corrosion flagged at the 2023 failure should be checked visually underneath; a corroded silencer can fail an MOT outright if it looks likely to detach.
Always inspect the car on a ramp or with the wheels off the ground. Ask the seller for any receipts relating to recent suspension or exhaust work, and consider a pre-purchase inspection from a Skoda specialist or local mechanic before committing.
The 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine in this Fabia is known for reasonable fuel economy, typically returning around 47-50 mpg on a combined cycle, which keeps fuel costs manageable. Road tax for a 2010 1.2-litre petrol Fabia falls into a low bracket, often £30-£165 per year depending on exact CO2 figures, so VED is not a major concern.
Insurance for a Fabia of this age and engine size generally sits in groups 3-6, meaning premiums for an average driver are usually modest. However, factoring in the likely suspension, Seat belt and exhaust work identified from the MOT history, you should budget for higher-than-usual maintenance in the short term.
Overall estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance and routine servicing, is around £1,200-£1,500 once you account for the advisories likely to escalate into failures.
Begin with a thorough check of the front suspension. The MOT history shows nearside and offside lower suspension arm pin/bush advisories on every test from 2023 through 2026, which indicates progressive wear. Jack the car up and rock each front wheel at the 9 and 3 o'clock positions to detect play in the bushes, and visually inspect the rear coil springs for cracks, as one fractured as recently as March 2023.
Next, examine both front Seat belts. Pull them out fully and look for fraying, cuts or damaged webbing along their entire length, paying particular attention to the area near the anchor point. Damaged belts will fail an MOT and are a safety risk, so this is non-negotiable.
Finally, get underneath and inspect the exhaust system for rust, particularly the centre silencer and any hangers or sleeves, as the 2023 failure noted a corroded exhaust sleeve likely to detach. Also check the tyres for uneven wear, as the 2024 test flagged a nearside front tyre worn on its edge, which can point to suspension or tracking issues.
Across five recorded MOT tests spanning 2023 to 2026, this green 1.2-litre petrol Fabia has passed every test but recorded one failure at the same 59,731-mile visit in March 2023, primarily due to a fractured rear coil spring and an exhaust issue. Annual mileage works out to roughly 4,600 miles per year, which is below the Skoda Fabia model average of 6,301 miles. Persistent advisories around front suspension bushes and front Seat belt webbing point to wear items that have not been fully resolved over successive tests.
Across 258,363 Skoda Fabia records analysed, the model posts an 80.3% MOT pass rate, which is reasonable for a supermini but not exceptional. The top aggregate failure reasons are headlamp issues, drive shaft joint wear, and service brake concerns.
