2018 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · DA18 YAF

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 26 June 2025 at 53,941 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding annual tests show the same clean outcome. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the five-year record, indicating the vehicle has not developed any worsening condition or recurring defect pattern. Recorded mileage sits at a typical level for an eight-year-old car, averaging roughly 6,743 miles per year. The odometer moved from 26,332 miles at the 30 May 2022 test to 36,234 miles in May 2023, then 45,332 miles in May 2024, and 53,941 miles by June 2025. The annual accumulation stays consistent at around 8,000 to 9,000 miles with no sudden jumps or standing gaps. The DVSA data is sparse in faults but clean throughout, showing no consumable neglect or structural concerns logged by testers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection despite the unblemished record. The May 2024 entry shows both a fail and a pass logged on the same date at 45,332 miles with no defects cited, which points to an administrative retest rather than a mechanical issue, yet warrants confirmation of the V5C and test certificate. With no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, or corrosion, focus the viewing on underbody structural integrity and tyre condition for age-related perishing. Previous keepers appear to have maintained the Fabia to a standard that satisfied annual roadworthiness checks without deferred items. The absence of binding calipers, exhaust emissions failures, or worn components across 27,609 miles of recorded history suggests disciplined servicing. Treat the clean MOT trail as a positive baseline, not a substitute for a pre-purchase mechanical assessment.
