Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recurring su
When viewing this vehicle, pay close attention to the front suspension. The MOT history records persistent wear on the front lower suspension arm bushes since 2023, which suggests these parts are nearing the end of their service life. You should negotiate the price to account for the potential cost of replacing these bushings and the front shock absorbers.
Check the service history thoroughly to see if any suspension work has been carried out to address the MOT advisories. If there is no record of these parts being replaced, factor in the cost of a garage inspection to determine if the 'light misting' on the shock absorbers has progressed to a leak that requires immediate attention.
The 999cc petrol engine is generally economical, though your fuel costs will be impacted by the higher-than-average annual mileage this car has covered. Insurance groups for the Fabia are typically competitive, making it an accessible choice for many drivers.
Annual maintenance should include budgeting for suspension repairs, given the MOT history. You can expect typical annual running costs, including fuel, insurance, tax, and routine servicing, to fall in the region of £1,400-£1,700, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Focus your inspection on the front suspension. Listen for any knocking or creaking sounds during a test drive, particularly over speed bumps or uneven road surfaces, as this often indicates worn suspension arm bushes. Inspect the front shock absorbers for signs of oil leaks beyond the 'light misting' noted in the most recent MOT.
Additionally, check the condition of the front brake discs. The 2023 MOT noted pitting and scoring, so ensure they have been monitored or replaced since. Because the under-panels prevented a full inspection of the brake pipes in 2025, ask a mechanic to lift the car and check for any hidden corrosion or damage to the lines.
This 2018 Skoda Fabia has covered 83,559 miles, significantly higher than the average for its age. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of suspension-related advisories over the last three years. While it has passed every test, the recurring nature of these issues suggests that some components may soon require replacement.
The Skoda Fabia generally performs well against the national average MOT pass rate of 80.3%, though suspension components are a known area of wear on high-mileage examples.
