2018 Skoda Fabia 1.0L Petrol · OV18 FBC

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistently clean record across the last five years. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 March 2026 at 34,788 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend indicates a stable maintenance history where the vehicle has consistently met DVSA safety standards without the recurring mechanical or structural failures common in older cars. The mileage profile is notably low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,348 miles per annum. Between the March 2022 test at 17,424 miles and the 2026 test at 34,788 miles, the car covered only 17,364 miles. This low usage suggests light operation, which typically preserves wear-sensitive drivetrain components and braking systems. However, such low-mile patterns can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components or fluid oxidation if the vehicle sits for extended periods. Since the MOT history shows no recorded faults or structural advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by age and sitting rather than mileage. A buyer should check for perish cracking in the tyres and wiper blades, and verify the condition of suspension bushes and rubber mounts which can become brittle over eight years. Given the low mileage, inspecting the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting is essential, as the brakes may not have been used enough to keep the surfaces clean.
