2013 Skoda Rapid Elegance TSI 1.2L Other · FR13 DVY

The 2013 Skoda Rapid Elegance TSI presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 October 2025 at 86,034 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior tests in October 2023 at 84,261 miles and December 2021 at 70,568 miles also passed clean. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available record, indicating the vehicle has not shown worsening condition or recurring defects over the last four years. The mileage pattern sits at roughly typical use for a 13-year-old car, averaging about 6,600 miles per year to reach 86,034 miles. A notable gap exists between the December 2021 test at 70,568 miles and the October 2023 test at 84,261 miles, where the car covered nearly 14,000 miles in under two years, then only 1,773 miles in the following two years to the 2025 test. The record is sparse, with just four entries and a failed test on 18 December 2021 at 70,407 miles that was retested and passed five days later with no defects logged, suggesting an administrative or minor non-mechanical rejection rather than a substantive fault. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and subframe corrosion given the car's age and the limited test history. The clean MOT record does not confirm the condition of consumable items like tyres or wiper blades beyond each test date, and the low recent annual mileage may mask perished rubber or seized calipers from standing. Verify the December 2021 failure reason with DVSA paperwork, as the supplied data shows no defects yet records a reject.
