2013 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · SL13 AAX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test on March 5, 2026, at 79,658 miles. While the record shows a failure on that same date, the lack of recorded defects on the failure report suggests a potential administrative error or a non-mechanical issue that was rectified immediately before the retest. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle has consistently passed without recorded mechanical or structural defects over the last three testing cycles. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical annual use for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 6,100 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 67,013 miles and the February 2025 test at 70,939 miles, the car covered 3,926 miles, followed by an increase of 8,719 miles leading to the March 2026 test. This steady but low mileage suggests the vehicle has not been excessively used, which generally reduces strain on the drivetrain and suspension components. Because the MOT history lacks specific advisories regarding suspension bushes, brake calipers, or exhaust corrosion, a physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation that the MOT often misses. A buyer should check the rubber components for cracking and inspect the underbody for surface rust, particularly on the arches and sills. Given the low mileage relative to age, verifying the condition of the fluids and the tyres' age is essential to ensure the car has not suffered from long periods of stationary use.
