2013 Skoda Superb 1.4L Petrol · FV13 LHA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates the onset of mechanical wear after several years of relatively clean records. The test in June 2026 at 87,119 miles flagged a front oil leak and pitted rear brake discs. While these issues did not result in a failure, they represent a shift from the defect-free results seen between 2020 and 2025. The maintenance trend suggests the car is entering a phase where age-related components require proactive attention. The mileage profile is consistent with a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year over its thirteen-year life. There is a notable increase in usage between May 2025 and June 2026, where the car covered 10,638 miles in just thirteen months. This contrasts with the previous period where annual accumulation often sat below 5,000 miles, particularly between 2017 and 2022. This spike in mileage likely explains the accelerated degradation of braking components and rubber seals noted in the most recent tests. A buyer should specifically inspect the engine bay to identify the source of the front oil leak noted in the June 2026 test, checking if it originates from a front cover gasket or a more significant seal failure. Given the history of pitted brake discs noted in 2017 and again in 2026, the thickness and surface condition of all discs should be verified to ensure they are not thinning. Additionally, the perishing tyres flagged in 2024 and the previously perished bumpstop from 2017 indicate that rubber components throughout the suspension and chassis may be cracking due to age despite the low mileage.
