2018 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · FL18 OJR

This vehicle presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 2 October 2025 at 107,570 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of first-time passes without a single recorded failure or advisory, suggesting a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage is high for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging over 13,000 miles per year. The accumulation has been rapid and steady, with a notable increase of 17,028 miles between the October 2023 test and the September 2024 test. Such high usage typically accelerates the wear of drivetrain components and suspension bushes, yet the lack of MOT advisories indicates these parts have been replaced or maintained proactively. A physical inspection should focus on high-wear consumables that the MOT may not flag until they reach a critical limit. Given the 107,570 total miles, a buyer should check the condition of the brake discs for lip wear and the depth of the tyre treads. The suspension should be checked for any signs of leaking shocks or perished rubber boots, as these are common failure points on high-mileage Fabias. The absence of any structural corrosion or exhaust emissions failures across five years of testing is a positive indicator of the car's overall integrity. The record implies a disciplined ownership history where mechanical issues were likely addressed before they became MOT failures. Focus the remaining due diligence on service history records to confirm oil change intervals and timing belt replacement, as the mileage now puts the vehicle in a high-risk window for these major components.
