Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this specific 1.0L petrol Fabia, confirm that the repairs from the July 2024 MOT failure—specifically the nearside front shock absorber and the rear brake pads—were carried out with quality parts. Ask for receipts or digital service records to prove these specific components were replaced.
Beyond the recorded failures, check the overall condition of the suspension components, as 'suspension arm' issues are a common failure reason for this model across the wider dataset. Since this is a smaller 999cc engine, ensure the drive feels smooth and that there are no unusual noises from the engine bay during a test drive.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, making this an economical choice for urban driving. Expect relatively low fuel consumption and a modest insurance group, typical for a small hatchback of this class.
Maintenance costs for a Skoda Fabia are generally predictable, though you should budget for regular consumable replacements like brake pads and tyres. Given the current mileage, you are likely entering a period where routine service items will require attention. Estimated annual running costs are approximately £900-£1,150, including fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance.
Focus your inspection on the braking system and suspension. The July 2024 MOT failure specifically highlighted thin rear brake pads and a serious fluid leak from the nearside front shock absorber; verify that these were not just patched up but properly replaced.
Additionally, keep an eye on headlamps and suspension arms during your inspection, as these are noted as top MOT failure reasons for this model in our aggregate data. Check for any signs of uneven tyre wear, which could indicate underlying suspension geometry issues.
This 2018 blue Skoda Fabia has covered 42,706 miles, which is relatively low for its age. While it experienced a failure in July 2024 due to brake pads and a shock absorber leak, the subsequent three MOT tests have passed with no defects recorded. The vehicle's mileage sits well below the model's average annual mileage of 6,298.
The Skoda Fabia shows an average MOT pass rate of 80.3% across our dataset, with common issues relating to lighting, suspension arms, and braking systems.
