Here is the 1st year update

Here is the last update to purchase the car outright

The car has only done 19362 miles in that time with the only breakdown being the battery completely failing so the AA was called.

There was an oil leak but the fix was covered by Skoda

It's passed very MOT with only the tyres being closed to legal limit in 2019:-

• 28 August 2020    19,348 miles
• 21 August 2019    17,360 miles
• 31 August 2018    13,931 miles

 

It is really a cheap car to run with it averaging 35-40 mpg with normal town driving and a best run of 52 mpg on a long run based on 57 fill-ups costing £2,846.14 in 6 years.

The most the Fabia has done on a tank of fuel is 482 miles and used 55 liters.

 

It still is a good car today a bit basic compared to later models but it makes it more appealing.

 

Gave it a clean. Still looks good.

 

 

 

Center caps could do with replacing

 

 

 

Really like the 1.4 Twin-Charger unit. Had no issues as it doesn't use any oil.

 

 

Very low mileage in 6 years

 

Hopefully the car will carry on being a good runabout for the next few years.

It's my mother's so that's the reason why the mileage is so low.

If it was mine I would drive it a lot more. When I get the chance I really do enjoy driving it and blow the the cobwebs away. 😁
