2006 Silver Fabia VRS Mk1 – 131000 miles - SOLD.

Measures · 26 August, 2016

Hi All, the time has finally come to change my car for something a bit newer. I’ve had this for just over 2 years, being owned by my Dad before me. I got the car in April 2014, with my Dad having purchased it in August 2012. 3 former keepers (excluding myself, but including my Dad). The car has a full service history and a folder full of history. There is a stamp missing for the 100’000 mile service - however it was done by The Specialist, Automotive G/Lee Harris as per the two bracketing services. Cambelt was done last service and it is currently due an oil & filter service.

I took ownership of the car at 84000 miles so it’s done roughly 20’000 miles per year in my ownership (mostly motorway/dual carriageway), and I can count the amount of problems I’ve had on one hand (most of which boost pipes, who’d have thought). I have replaced the top boost pipe and bottom elbow with Samco items (blue, of course!). When I took over the car I sourced an original Skoda Satnav and had it fitted with the correct facia, and had the wheels refurbished. They still look very good with no curbing. Bodywork is in pretty good condition for a 10 year old car but has a couple of door dings, the worst of which is on the drivers side rear wheelarch. I also managed to scrape the front bumper in a multi-storey car park – see pictures.

So to surmise;

The good: FSH with a stack of receipts

4 nearly new F1 Eagles all round

11 months of MOT

HEATED SEATS (both work, drivers side was replaced at 90k)!

Wheels are in good nick

Generally bodywork is very good

Satnav has Aux lead and Bluetooth (aftermarket)

Had cambelt done at 120k

2 keys

The Bad: Currently needs an oil and filter change

Scrape on the front bumper

A couple of door dings

If you’re being anal the badges would probably want changing.

Seats could do with a good clean

Engine management is on, has been on for the duration of my ownership. Think it's the EGR valve but it has been no issue whatsoever.

I’m going to have a look at a new car on Monday so if it’s ‘the one’ this will need to be gone by the end of next week really. I’m located just up the road from Stamford, about 20 minutes from Junction 17 of the A1(M) at Peterborough. The mileage will rise and will be closer to 132k after this weekend. If I don't go for the car I'm going to get the oil and filter service done.
