2018 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · JB12 JNB

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 November 2025 at 33,004 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior annual tests in November 2024 and November 2023 also closed as passes with no advisories. No worsening mechanical pattern emerges across the four-year record. The odometer shows light use for an eight-year-old car. Mileage rose from 23,448 at the 7 November 2023 test to 28,491 on 6 November 2024, then to 33,004 by 17 November 2025. That equates to roughly 4,100 miles per year, well below typical fleet averages. The clean sheet across all tests suggests either careful low-mileage ownership or long standing periods, though the record is too sparse to confirm suspension or brake wear from use alone. The November 2024 and November 2023 entries each show an initial fail followed by a pass on the same day at near-identical mileage, with no defects listed. This points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. A buyer should still verify the V5C and test certificate numbers against DVSA records. In person, inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding given the low mileage and possible standing time. Check exhaust emissions and structural integrity underneath for rust. The history shows no recurring consumable neglect, but a physical inspection remains warranted before purchase.
