2013 Skoda Fabia 1.6L Diesel · GL13 ADZ

The 20 July 2026 MOT at 133,863 miles passed with no defects, confirming that the vehicle presently meets roadworthiness standards; the earlier failure on the same day at 133,859 miles, citing an off‑side front tyre with exposed cords, demonstrates that previous issues have been remedied. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 133,863 miles equates to roughly 10,300 miles per year, a figure typical for a vehicle of this age. Mileage rose from 106,564 miles in the August 2023 test to 133,863 miles in July 2026, an increase of 27,299 miles over three years, with the steepest rise occurring between the August 2024 failure and the July 2026 pass, indicating consistent use rather than long periods of inactivity. The record repeatedly flags wear of front suspension arm pins, bushes and ball joints, together with deteriorating constant‑velocity boots on the drive shaft and edge‑worn tyres, so a buyer should inspect suspension components for play, examine rubber boots for cracks or grease loss, check brake discs for pitting, and verify tyre condition beyond the legal tread depth, paying close attention to edge wear and any cuts exposing cords. Although no structural rust was noted in the MOT history, the persistent suspension wear and tyre damage suggest that the previous owner may have postponed component replacement, making a thorough in‑person inspection of bushes, ball joints, CV boots and brake condition essential before purchase.
