Our Verdict
A solid purchase option with a clean recent inspection history. The vehicle shows a consistent pattern of passing MOT tests with no defects recorded in the last two years.
When viewing this specific 999cc Fabia, check the service history to ensure the small-capacity engine has been maintained according to manufacturer intervals. Although the MOT history is clean for the most recent tests, always verify that the 2024 failure was rectified and that no new advisories have appeared since the November 2025 test.
Negotiate based on the mileage; at 36,156 miles, this car has been driven significantly more than the aggregate annual average for this model. Ensure all electronics and the black paintwork are inspected for any signs of wear that may have occurred during its higher-than-average usage.
The 999cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing this vehicle in a low insurance group and a favourable tax band. Fuel economy should be competitive for a small hatchback used for daily commuting.
Maintenance costs for the Fabia are typically moderate, though you should budget for standard consumables like tyres and brakes. Based on the engine size and age, an estimated annual running cost is between £1,100 and £1,400, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Given the model aggregate data, pay close attention to the headlamps and drive shaft joints, as these are common failure points for the Skoda Fabia across the wider fleet. Even though this specific vehicle had no defects in its most recent tests, these are known areas of concern.
Additionally, check the braking system. While this car has passed its recent tests, 'service brake excessively' is a top failure reason for this model, so listen for any unusual noises or feel for vibrations when testing the brakes during a test drive.
This 2020 black Skoda Fabia features a 999cc petrol engine and has covered 36,156 miles as of its last MOT in November 2025. While it experienced a single failure in June 2024 at 25,527 miles, the subsequent two tests have been completed without any recorded defects. The mileage is higher than the model average of 6,301 per year, but the recent inspection trend is stable.
The Skoda Fabia shows an average MOT pass rate of 80.3% across 258,313 analysed vehicles, with common issues relating to headlamps and drive shafts.
