2013 Skoda Fabia SE TDI CR 75 1.6L Heavy oil · EXZ 6704

A consistently clean MOT record, unmarred by any recorded defects, defines the mechanical profile of this 2013 Skoda Fabia SE TDI CR 75. Across eight recorded tests the car has passed six times, most recently on 25 July 2026, and recorded two failures that listed no specific faults, suggesting administrative or paperwork issues rather than mechanical shortcomings. The absence of any logged advisories or failures over a decade points to a stable roadworthiness trend, with no evident deterioration captured by the DVSA inspections. The odometer reads 100,438 miles, which translates to roughly 7,700 miles per year – a usage rate that sits comfortably within normal UK averages for a vehicle of this age. The testing history shows a three‑year gap between the 2019 and 2022 MOTs, but the mileage logged at each test aligns with the overall average, indicating no sudden spikes in distance that would imply aggressive driving or excessive wear. Such a gradual accumulation generally means that wear items such as tyres, brake pads and clutch components will have progressed at a predictable pace, allowing a prospective buyer to gauge remaining service life against typical replacement intervals. When you conduct a pre‑purchase inspection, give particular attention to the suspension and steering assemblies; listen for any clunking or knocking over bumps that could signal worn bushings or deteriorating coil springs. Test the brake pedal for a firm, consistent feel and watch for any pulsation or pulling to one side, which would reveal potential disc warping or caliper binding that the MOT has not yet captured. Since the model is a diesel, assess the exhaust for excessive smoke or unusual odors, and verify that the diesel particulate filter is not emitting a constant white or black plume, as these are early indicators of emission system wear. A thorough road‑test should also include a short idle with the handbrake applied to confirm the engine runs smoothly without roughness, and a brief acceleration to check for any loss of power that might hint at turbocharger or fuel‑system issues. Finally, request a visual inspection of the under‑body for any signs of corrosion, especially around the subframe and exhaust mounts, and ensure that all fluid levels are correct and free from leaks, as these are the typical wear points that a clean MOT record may not expose until they become more pronounced.
