2013 Skoda Fabia S TDI CR 90 1.6L Diesel · TNZ 7397

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record following a single early failure. The most recent test in December 2025 at 54,954 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets all safety and environmental standards. This streak of clean results over the last three years suggests that the current owner is proactive in addressing minor issues before they escalate into mechanical failures during the annual inspection process. The mileage pattern is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,200 miles per year. There is a significant increase in usage between December 2024 and December 2025, where the car covered over 12,000 miles in twelve months. This contrasts with the much lower usage seen between July 2022 and October 2024. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of sitting can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber components or corrosion of brake hardware. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related degradation that MOT tests might not capture. Given the low mileage, components such as suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyres should be checked for cracking or dry rot due to age rather than physical wear. The initial failure in July 2022 at 40,017 miles was rectified quickly with a pass a week later, but a physical inspection of the brake system and structural integrity remains advisable to ensure no hidden corrosion is developing on the chassis or exhaust components.
