2018 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · FM18 HZX

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent test on 25 June 2025 at 49,721 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across five consecutive annual tests from July 2021 to June 2025 the vehicle cleared every examination without a single advisory or failure, indicating consistent upkeep and no escalating mechanical concerns. The mileage progression shows light, even use for an eight-year-old car. The tester logged 19,648 miles on 8 July 2021, rising to 27,360 by 4 July 2022, 35,599 on 28 June 2023, 43,265 on 28 June 2024, and 49,721 on 25 June 2025. That averages roughly 6,200 miles per year with no abrupt jumps or dormant gaps, a pattern typical of careful private ownership rather than fleet or high-load duty. Given the clean record, no recurring faults appear in the suspension bushes, brake discs, coil springs, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity categories. The absence of corrosion or binding caliper advisories across all entries suggests the previous keeper addressed wear before each test. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody condition and tyre sidewalls, as MOT passes at low mileage can mask standing moisture or perishing rubber unseen during a brief test bay check. Pre-purchase, verify the service book aligns with the 6,215-mile annual average and confirm genuine Skoda parts were used on consumables. The data implies disciplined maintenance, yet a 2025 test now thirteen months old warrants a fresh check before funds change hands.
