2018 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · CY68 CVB

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 1 August 2025 at 30,610 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across five consecutive annual or near-annual MOT tests from December 2021 to August 2025, the vehicle cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure. The upkeep pattern shows consistent compliance with test scheduling and no escalating mechanical concerns. Recorded mileage stands at 30,610 miles against an eight-year lifespan, equating to roughly 3,826 miles per year. The history reveals a pronounced early-life lull: only 12,553 miles by 28 December 2021 and 13,436 miles at the 18 July 2022 test, implying the car sat largely idle for its first three years. From mid-2022 onward the annual increment normalised to around 2,500 to 3,500 miles per year, with the 2023, 2024 and 2025 tests showing 24,854, 27,129 and 30,610 miles respectively. No rapid accumulation or missing test years appear in the data. Given the clean MOT ledger, the buyer faces no flagged suspension bushes, brake disc wear, exhaust emissions breaches or structural corrosion to investigate from the record. The low and previously stagnant mileage does warrant a physical check of perishable items that degrade with time rather than distance: inspect tyre sidewall cracking, brake caliper seizure from standing, and fluid condition including coolant and brake fluid. A visual underside assessment for surface rust remains prudent on any 2018-registered hatchback despite the absence of advisories.
