Our Verdict
A modern and capable city car, but one t
The primary focus for any buyer should be the advisories from the August 2026 MOT. Both the nearside and offside front suspension arm bushes are noted as worn, and the rear brake pads are wearing thin. You should negotiate the purchase price to account for the replacement of these components, as they represent imminent maintenance costs.
Check the service history to see if the vehicle has followed the manufacturer's intervals, particularly given that its mileage is higher than the model average. Ensure that the tyre issues identified in 2025 were fully resolved and that the current tyres have sufficient tread across the full width of the tyre.
Equipped with a 999cc petrol engine and Euro 6 AP status, this Fabia is well-suited for urban driving and is compliant with the latest emissions zones. Fuel economy is typically strong for this engine size, and the vehicle likely falls into a low insurance group, keeping monthly outgoings manageable.
Annual costs will be dominated by fuel and insurance, but the current MOT advisories suggest a spike in maintenance spending this year. Once the suspension and brakes are addressed, typical annual servicing for this model should remain relatively affordable.
Pay close attention to the front suspension; listen for knocks or clunks when driving over uneven surfaces, as the MOT history explicitly flags worn pins or bushes on both front suspension arms. This is a known weak point for the model, appearing as a top failure reason in aggregate data.
Inspect the rear brakes and check for any signs of excessive wear or noise during braking. Additionally, check the nearside front tyre for any signs of uneven wear or perishing on the sidewall, referencing the failure recorded in August 2025.
This red 2021 Skoda Fabia has recorded 46,601 miles, which is above the average for this model. Its MOT history shows a generally consistent record, including one failure in 2025 for tyre wear and headlamp aim, and a most recent pass in 2026 that highlighted emerging issues with the suspension and brakes.
The Fabia has a respectable aggregate MOT pass rate of 80.3%, though it is prone to issues with headlamps and suspension arms.
