Our Verdict
Proceed with caution regarding immediate
When inspecting this specific green 999cc Fabia, your primary focus should be on the consumables highlighted in the recent MOT. Check the tread depth on all four tyres, specifically looking for the edge wear and cracking noted on the offside rear in the 2026 test. You should also inspect the rear shock absorbers to see if the 'light misting of oil' has progressed to an active leak.
Negotiate on the basis that the tyres and potentially the rear shocks may require replacement shortly. Ask the seller for evidence of any work carried out following the March 2026 MOT to see if these advisories were addressed. Given the 1.0L engine, ensure the drive feels smooth and check that the service intervals have been met, though this cannot be confirmed by MOT data alone.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing this vehicle in a lower insurance group and tax band suitable for urban driving. Fuel economy should be competitive for a small hatchback of this era.
Typical maintenance for a Fabia of this age involves routine servicing, brake inspections, and tyre replacements. Based on the MOT history, suspension components like shock absorbers and tyres are the most likely recurring costs. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance, fall in the mid-range for this segment.
Focus heavily on the suspension and tyres. The MOT history shows a pattern of tyre wear issues, specifically 'worn close to legal limit' on the front and 'cracking or perishing' on the rear. Check all tyres for age-related perishing, even if tread depth appears sufficient.
Secondly, inspect the rear suspension. The 2025 and 2026 MOTs both noted light misting of oil on the offside rear shock absorber. Check for any signs of dampness or oil residue around the shock mounting points. Finally, while not a recorded failure for this vehicle, be aware that aggregate data for this model shows headlamps and suspension arms as common failure points across the wider fleet.
This 2017 Skoda Fabia presents with 40,326 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average of approximately 6,298 miles per year. While the MOT history shows no major failures, the most recent test in March 2026 highlighted several advisories regarding tyres and rear shock absorbers. The vehicle has maintained a consistent passing record over the last five years.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.3% MOT pass rate, with common failure points including headlamps and suspension components.
