Is a used Skoda Fabia a good car?

I'm looking to buy a used Skoda Fabia 1.2 TSI in SE L trim. The car is seven years old and has done 60,000 miles with two previous owners. It appears to have a full service history and is very clean and tidy. Are there any major concerns for this age of Skoda? Is it a good used car to buy?

Sounds like a good purchase. It's an early example of that generation of Fabia, but that needn't be an issue. Check the service history to make sure it's been maintained regularly (receipts are better than stamps in a service book). We've had a few issues reported but nothing too concerning: www.honestjohn.co.uk/skoda/fabia/2015/good
