Our Verdict
Proceed with caution and budget for imme
Before purchasing, you should negotiate the price downwards to account for the immediate repairs indicated by the July 2026 MOT, specifically the CV boot and the oil leak. Ask for a detailed receipt of any work completed since the last test to ensure the CV boot issue was actually resolved and not just noted.
Request a full service history to see if the recurring suspension bush issues noted in 2024 and 2025 were addressed via replacement or just monitored. Given the 2022 record of body and sill damage on the nearside, a physical inspection of the chassis for signs of corrosion or structural repair is highly recommended.
The 1197cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group, making it affordable for newer drivers. Fuel economy for this era of Fabia is typically efficient for urban and suburban driving.
Maintenance costs may be slightly higher than average due to the recurring suspension and braking advisories seen in the MOT history. Expect to budget for periodic replacement of suspension bushes and brake components. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £950-£1,200, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance.
Focus heavily on the front end of the vehicle. The July 2026 MOT specifically flagged a nearside front CV boot that was 'severely deteriorated' and a front oil leak; ensure these have been professionally repaired and are not currently leaking.
Check the suspension components thoroughly. The MOT history shows a repeated pattern of 'suspension arm pin or bush worn' in 2024 and 2025. Inspect the nearside and offside front and rear suspension for any play or noise. Additionally, check the braking system, as 'service brake binding' was noted in both 2024 and 2025, and inspect the tyres for uneven wear, as seen in the 2025 record.
This 2013 silver Skoda Fabia 1.2L petrol has covered 76,269 miles, which is above the model average of 6,298 miles per year. The MOT history reveals a pattern of suspension arm bush wear and brake binding issues across 2024 and 2025. Most recently, in July 2026, the vehicle presented with a front oil leak and a severely deteriorated nearside front CV boot.
Aggregate data for this model shows an 80.3% MOT pass rate, with common failure points being headlamps, suspension arms, and service brakes.
