Our Verdict

This 2018 Skoda Fabia offers good value for money with a largely clean MOT history, but the high mileage and single tyre-related failure warrant careful inspection before purchase.

Prioritise checking the tyres, particularly the nearside rear as flagged in the 2022 MOT. Verify service history for regular maintenance, as this 1.0L petrol engine benefits from consistent servicing. Negotiate based on the high mileage and the 2022 tyre failure, which may indicate neglect. Be cautious of potential wear on suspension components given the vehicle's age and distance covered.

The 999cc petrol engine offers decent fuel economy, likely averaging 45-50 mpg. As a 2018 model, it falls into the £145 annual road tax band (standard rate). Insurance group estimates for this model range from 15-20, making premiums moderate. Routine maintenance costs are typical for a sub-1.5L petrol engine, with expected expenses for oil changes, brake checks, and tyre replacements. Annual running costs are estimated at £800-£1,000.

Focus on the nearside rear tyre and surrounding wheel arch for signs of uneven wear or damage from the 2022 failure. Inspect suspension components, including shocks and bushes, for excessive wear given the high mileage. Check the engine for oil leaks or unusual noises, and verify the condition of the timing belt (if applicable) as part of a pre-purchase inspection. Review service records to confirm regular maintenance intervals were followed.

The 2018 Skoda Fabia has a mostly reliable MOT record, passing all checks since 2022 except for a minor tyre wear issue. At 102,247 miles, the mileage is above average for its age, though the vehicle remains in good condition. No aggregate reliability data is available for the model, but the clean recent MOTs suggest responsible ownership.

No aggregate MOT data is available for the Skoda Fabia model, making it difficult to assess broader reliability trends. However, the vehicle's recent MOT history suggests it has been well-maintained.
