2013 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · AH60 ACH

The Skoda Fabia is currently roadworthy, having passed its latest inspection in March 2026. While the overall status is positive, the maintenance trend shows a recent decline characterized by an immediate failure due to critical defects on both front tyres. The offside tyre had exposed cords and the nearside tyre suffered a deep cut, suggesting that while the vehicle is functional, safety-critical consumables were neglected prior to the final test. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 4,300 miles per year. Between March 2023 and March 2026, the car covered 11,441 miles, indicating a consistent low-usage profile. This low mileage accumulation generally means less wear on the engine and drivetrain compared to average cars, though it can sometimes lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluids if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods. A buyer should perform a close inspection of the front end, as the history shows a recurring issue with uneven tyre wear in both 2025 and 2026. This could indicate underlying problems with wheel alignment or worn suspension components like bushings and shock enough. Given the low mileage, it is also advisable to check for dry rot on rubber hoses and corrosion on brake discs, which often affect older, rarely-driven cars more than high-mileage ones.
