2013 Skoda Octavia 1.6L Diesel · FR13 AAU

The vehicle achieved a PASS on 8 October 2025 at 93,561 miles, indicating current roadworthiness. The preceding test two days earlier on 6 October 2025 recorded a FAIL at 93,531 miles, though no defects were logged. The rapid re‑test and subsequent pass suggest the issue was minor and resolved, reflecting a stable maintenance trend rather than a deteriorating condition. Mileage accumulation over the vehicle’s life averages roughly 7,200 miles per year, which is typical for a 2013 model. Between the October 2024 test (83,250 miles) and the failed October 2025 test (93,531 miles) the car gained about 10,300 miles in just over a year, slightly above the long‑term average. The final 30‑mile increase between the failure and the pass on 8 October 2025 indicates a quick re‑inspection rather than substantial usage. A buyer should inspect the braking system for binding calipers or uneven disc wear, given the close‑spaced failure and pass. Suspension bushes and coil springs merit visual check for corrosion or excessive play, as the car is approaching 13 years of service. Tyre tread depth and condition should be verified against the 93,000‑mile reading, and the exhaust and under‑body for rust or damage are essential due to the vehicle’s age. Finally, a thorough examination of the chassis for structural integrity will confirm whether any long‑term corrosion has developed.
