Our Verdict
This 2015 Skoda Fabia presents a general
When inspecting this Fabia, pay close attention to the braking system given the June 2026 failure for excessive fluctuation on both front service brakes. Check that the discs and pads were replaced or serviced appropriately at that time, and test the pedal feel during a test drive.
Examine the front suspension components carefully, referencing the May 2023 advisory for light oil misting on the front shock absorbers. While shock absorbers do naturally degrade over time, you should check for any clunking noises or uneven tyre wear during your inspection.
Review the physical condition of all four tyres, keeping in mind the 2023 advisory regarding perishing and cracking. Ensure there is adequate tread depth remaining and check the inner shoulders for age-related deterioration.
The 1197.0cc petrol engine sits in a moderate insurance group and offers sensible fuel economy for daily commuting and urban driving. Road tax falls into standard UK VED brackets for vehicles of this registration year, keeping fixed annual costs manageable.
Routine maintenance for the Skoda Fabia is generally straightforward due to widespread parts availability across the UK. Budget for standard consumable replacements such as tyres, brakes, and annual servicing to keep the vehicle operating correctly.
Estimated annual running costs for fuel, tax, insurance, and typical maintenance are around £1,100 to £1,400, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Inspect the front braking assembly thoroughly to ensure the fluctuating service brake issue noted in the June 2026 test has been fully resolved with quality components. Look for any scoring on the brake discs or uneven pad wear.
Check the front shock absorbers for any signs of active fluid leaks, building upon the light misting of oil recorded on both sides during the May 2023 MOT test. Bounce each corner of the vehicle to check that the damping is firm and responsive.
Examine the sidewalls and tread of all tyres for cracking, perishing, or cuts, noting the previous 2023 advisory for tyre degradation. Verify the date stamps on the tyres to ensure they are not excessively old.
First registered in April 2015, this black Skoda Fabia features a 1197.0cc petrol engine and has accumulated 91,324 miles by June 2026. The MOT record shows a recent failure for fluctuating service brakes in June 2026 which was successfully rectified on the same day, alongside earlier advisories for front shock absorber oil misting and tyre cracking recorded in May 2023. With four passes across five recorded tests, the history indicates standard wear and tear for a vehicle of this age.
The Skoda Fabia demonstrates strong reliability in aggregate national data, achieving an average MOT pass rate of 80.3% across more than 258,000 tested vehicles.
