2018 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · FM18 XPC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend following a mechanical repair. The most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 58,507 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the issues previously identified have been addressed. Since that point, the car has maintained a clean MOT record, suggesting that the current owner is responsive to mechanical requirements flagged by the DVSA. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between April 2023 at 33,843 miles and April 2024 at 45,725 miles, where the car covered over 12,000 miles in twelve months. However, the usage slowed significantly recently, with only 4,796 miles recorded between January 2024 and October 2025 tests. This fluctuation suggests varied use rather than consistent neglect, which often prevents uneven wear on rubber components and drivetrain parts. The failure on 31 December 2024 at 53,707 miles for an excessively worn offside front lower suspension arm bush is the only recorded mechanical concern in this history. While the vehicle passed the subsequent test, a buyer should physically inspect the front suspension assembly for signs of play or further perished bushings to ensure the replacement was completed to standard. Given the lack of previous advisories for brake corrosion or structural rust, the focus should remain on verifying the integrity of the suspension and the condition of the tyre treads, which are the primary areas of wear for a vehicle with this mileage profile.
