Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a low-maintenance small hatchback. The recent MOT history shows no defects, making it a potentially straightforward option.
Given the mileage is well above the annual average for this model, you should request evidence of regular servicing to ensure the 1198cc engine has been maintained. Check the service book specifically for oil changes and spark plug replacements, which are vital for high-mileage petrol engines.
When viewing the car, pay close attention to the suspension and drivetrain. While this specific vehicle has no recorded failures, aggregate data for the Fabia highlights drive shaft joints and suspension arms as common failure points. A test drive to check for any clicking sounds from the CV joints or knocks from the suspension is highly recommended.
The 1.2L petrol engine is generally economical for urban driving, though fuel costs will depend on your annual mileage. As a 2013 model, tax bands vary depending on the specific CO2 output, so verify the exact rate for AY13XNT.
Insurance groups for the Fabia are typically moderate, making it accessible for various drivers. Maintenance costs should be relatively predictable, but at over 125,000 miles, you should budget for wear-and-tear items such as brakes, tyres, and potentially timing belt replacements if they haven't been addressed recently.
Focus your inspection on the areas identified in aggregate model data: the drive shaft joints, suspension arms, and headlamps. Even though this vehicle's recent MOTs show no defects, these are the components most likely to require attention on a Skoda Fabia of this age.
Additionally, inspect the silver paintwork for any signs of corrosion or significant scratches, and check the headlights for any clouding or moisture ingress, as headlamp issues are a common failure reason for this model type.
This 2013 silver Skoda Fabia features a 1.2L petrol engine and has covered 125,787 miles as of its last MOT in March 2025. While the mileage is significantly higher than the model average of 6,310 per year, the vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record. The most recent inspection recorded no defects, following a pass in 2024.
Aggregate data for the Skoda Fabia shows an 80.3% MOT pass rate, with common issues relating to suspension and lighting.
