2013 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · AF13 EGK

The Skoda Fabia presents as roadworthy following its most recent pass on 17 September 2025 at 124,492 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recorded history. The September 2025 test passed with no defects logged, though the same-day failure on 17 September 2025 at identical mileage is anomalous and suggests an administrative retest rather than a mechanical fault, as no defects were recorded on either entry. Prior to that, the vehicle passed cleanly in September 2024 at 105,709 miles after a same-day failure with no defects noted on 19 September 2024 at 105,002 miles. Annual mileage averages around 9,576 miles against the car's 2013 build, which is typical for a thirteen-year-old vehicle. The records show a jump from 98,118 miles at the May 2023 pass to 105,002 miles by September 2024, then a larger accumulation to 124,492 miles by September 2025, indicating roughly 19,000 miles covered in the final twelve months. This recent acceleration in use is worth noting, though the sparse three-year MOT span leaves gaps in the earlier service picture. No advisories or defects appear across any test, so the DVSA record gives no direct signal of worn suspension bushes, corroded structure, or failing brake components. The clean sheets imply previous owners addressed issues before each test or the car held up mechanically, but a no-defect pass does not confirm underlying wear on coil springs, exhaust integrity, or binding calipers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of underbody corrosion, brake disc thickness, and suspension arm condition given the mileage and the unexplained same-day fail-pass pairs in 2024 and 2025. Verify with the seller why the tester issued failures with zero recorded defects, as that points to possible documentation errors rather than verified roadworthiness.
