2013 Skoda Octavia 2.0L Diesel · FW13 AEX

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data. The most recent test on 1 October 2025 at 130,006 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. While the record shows a failure on the same day, the lack of listed defects suggests a clerical error or a minor administrative issue rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with the age of the car. It has covered approximately 10,000 miles per year over its thirteen-year lifespan. Between September 2022 at 107,328 miles and October 2025 at 130,006 miles, the vehicle accumulated 22,678 miles, confirming a steady usage rate. A recording error appears in the October 2024 entry, which lists 12,207 miles, though this is clearly a data entry mistake given the surrounding chronological figures. The MOT history is unusually clean for a vehicle of this age and mileage. No advisories for brake disc wear, suspension bushes, or exhaust emissions have appeared in the last four years. This lack of reported wear suggests either a very high standard of preventative maintenance or a lenient testing regime. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on common age-related degradation that MOT testers sometimes overlook. Check for structural corrosion on the sills and chassis, and inspect the condition of the coil springs and shock absorbers. Given the 130,006 mileage, a manual check of the clutch bite point and gearbox synchronisation is recommended to ensure the drivetrain remains healthy.
