2018 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · DB68 KER

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 29 May 2025 at 55,674 miles returning a clean pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests show the same pattern, with passes at 54,013 miles on 28 December 2024 and 49,337 miles on 3 January 2024, both free of advisories. The single failure on 3 January 2024 at 49,336 miles carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative or unlogged procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage sits at roughly 6,959 miles, typical for an eight-year-old vehicle. The records span 22 January 2023 at 43,730 miles through to May 2025 at 55,674 miles, a gain of under 12,000 miles across two years. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear; the 2024-12-28 and 2025-05-29 entries show only 1,661 miles added in five months, suggesting light private use. The clean sweep of tests implies the previous owner kept consumables and core systems within limits. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's age, as MOT passes without advisories do not confirm component life remaining. Examine underneath for corrosion on structural members and check exhaust emissions under load. The history shows no recurring faults, so no specific mechanical weakness is flagged, but pre-purchase scrutiny of tyre tread depth and wiper condition remains sound practice.
