Alright peeps,have my eye on a 2007 fabia Vrs and wondered if anyone can give me a list of things to look out for

Its the limited edition model,looks lovely. Am viewing it tomorrow and hopefully have it within the next week or 2

The 2007 vRS is a Mk 1 Fabia and a Mk 2, so you've posted it in the wrong section, I'm afraid. The Special Edition (SE) was the last to be made, until this year when the Fabia MkII vRS was launched. If I was going to buy another Mk 1, I'd buy one of them.

The most common problems are wet/damp rear footwells due to the door carriage leaking (fixed with a bit of sealant). A slight hesitation or "stutter" due to the EGR. Creaking/warn suspension bushes. I'm sure there are others. If you look and search in the Fabia I section you will find what to look for.

No worrys,i'll check out the other section.

Thanks for your reply

Hi mate, awesome that you've got a Limited Edition - do you know what number it is? There's an owner's register in the sticky's at the top of the Fabia I threads - post your details in there and it will be updated. How many miles has it done - as Jim H said, main things are engine stutter, worn bushes and leaking door seals. I have just had a 50,000 mile service on mine and it's now running brilliantly.

Hey mikey,should be picking it up on tuesday or wednesday. Front alloys were a bit scratched so garage is having them refurb'd for me

Its No 722 and its got 43,000 on the clock.

Have posted up in owners register already

The smaller battery on late vRSs including the SE seems to be weak - why on earth Skoda downsized it!
