Hi everyone,

 

I’m looking at a Skoda Fabia 2008 1.6 petrol engine at 120,000 miles, I’ve had diesel Skodas for a while now but never a petrol one... is £1200 for a good nick 08 1.6 fabia? I’m not sure how long a petrol engine is supposed to last on these bad boys... I need the car for work but don’t want to commit without knowing a little bit about petrol engines first.

 

Any help is much appreciated.

...Off hand it seems like a reasonable price but I think I'd look for a slightly newer model and pay a little more, finances allowing. At that age, unless you knew the previous owner, the care they took and how they serviced/repaired  the car, it could be great but could also be a money pit!
