2013 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · AF13 AVG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, with the most recent 2026-02-20 MOT confirming no defects at 73,404 miles. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past three years, as all tests from 2023 to 2026 passed without recorded issues. However, a failed MOT on 2025-03-21 at 66,100 miles—despite no defects listed—suggests an unexplained anomaly, potentially linked to procedural errors or non-technical failures. No recurring mechanical faults or structural concerns are evident from the record, indicating consistent upkeep. The mileage of 73,404 miles over 13 years equates to an average of 5,646 miles annually, below the typical usage for this age. Notable gaps exist between tests: the 2023-03-02 MOT at 54,934 miles was followed by a 2024-03-22 test at 60,370 miles, a 5,436-mile increase, then a 2025-03-21 test at 66,100 miles—same mileage as the failed MOT. This suggests possible data duplication or extended intervals between inspections, which could mask gradual wear. The final 2026-02-20 test shows a 7,304-mile jump in 12 months, raising questions about recent usage patterns. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for aged bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can lead to stiffness or corrosion. The braking system, particularly rear calipers and discs, warrants scrutiny due to the failed 2025 MOT, even without recorded defects. Exhaust emissions and structural integrity should also be verified, as prolonged inactivity may affect these components. While the MOT history lacks critical failures, the irregular testing intervals and mileage fluctuations necessitate a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical condition.
