2023 Skoda Fabia Colour Edition TSI

CarHunch is tracking 1,077 2023 Skoda Fabia Colour Edition TSI vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.

This 2023 Fabia is in rough shape at MOT—just 5.3% pass on first attempt versus the UK average of 80%, which is a serious red flag for a car this new. With zero dangerous defects recorded and no failures or advisories averaging across 1,077 vehicles, the problem isn't safety-critical issues but rather a pattern of minor faults that need correction before test completion.

The median mileage of 18,058 miles is perfectly normal for a 2023 model, so these cars aren't being thrashed—this poor pass rate suggests either systematic design niggles, poor servicing, or test centre strictness on this specific specification. Before buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on common first-time failure categories for this generation, and budget for at least one retest cycle.

What to check before buying a 2023 Skoda Fabia Colour Edition TSI

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
