2013 Skoda Fabia 1.6L Diesel · FV13 XSC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 26 June 2026 at 34,317 miles with no defects recorded. This follows a period of clean passes over the last several years. While a minor failure occurred in June 2023 regarding a non-functional windscreen washer, the issue was rectified immediately, suggesting the owner addresses basic functional safety requirements without allowing faults to accumulate. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,640 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-intensity usage over the decade, for example, only 2,565 miles were covered between the June 2024 test and the June 2026 test. This low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber-based parts that do not benefit from regular mechanical exercise. A buyer should focus on the condition of the tyres and rubber components during a physical inspection. The 2025 test flagged a damaged nearside front tyre for cracking or perishing, which is a common symptom of a car sitting for long periods rather than from high mileage. Inspect all sidewalls for dry rot and check the state of the suspension bushes and seals. Given the low usage, also verify the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as calipers can often seize when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to clear away oxidation.
