Our Verdict
A practical city car that remains a viab
Focus your negotiations on the recent MOT advisories from July 2026. Specifically, ask for invoices proving that the worn front suspension arm pins/bushes and the binding offside rear service brake have been repaired, as these were present on the most recent pass.
Verify the service history for the 999cc MPI engine to ensure oil changes have been performed at recommended intervals. Given the tyre wear advisories noted in 2025, check the current tread depth and brand of tyres fitted to ensure they are of a quality standard.
Equipped with a small 1.0L petrol engine and Euro 6 DG status, this vehicle is designed for efficiency and is compliant with major UK low-emission zones. Fuel costs should remain low, particularly for urban driving, and it will fall into a relatively low insurance group typical for the Fabia range.
Annual running costs will include the standard VED tax band for this engine size and routine maintenance. Expect an estimated annual expenditure of £900-£1,200 to cover fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing.
Prioritise a physical inspection of the front suspension. The July 2026 MOT explicitly flagged worn pins and bushes in both front wishbone arms; check for any knocking sounds or instability during a test drive. Additionally, check for excessive heat coming from the offside rear wheel after a drive, which would indicate the previously reported brake binding is still present.
Inspect the windscreen wipers to ensure the 2026 failure has been rectified. Finally, check the front tyres for uneven wear, as the 2025 MOT recorded both front tyres as being worn close to the legal limit on the edges.
This white 2020 Skoda Fabia SE Drive MPI has recorded 39,294 miles. While the early MOT history from 2023 and 2024 was clear of defects, more recent tests show emerging wear, including a failure in July 2026 for a windscreen wiper and advisories regarding suspension and brakes. It represents a typical example of the model with mileage slightly above the aggregate average.
Based on data from 495 vehicles, this model has a strong average MOT pass rate of 89.1%, with common failures typically limited to headlamps, tyres, and wipers.
