Our Verdict
This 2013 Skoda Superb diesel represents a sensible buy for buyers seeking a spacious, well-proven family saloon. With a clean MOT history across five tests and mileage broadly in line with the model average, it stands as a low-risk proposition in the used market.
Given the clean MOT record and mileage close to the model average, this Superb is a reasonable candidate for purchase, though a clean MOT sheet should never replace a thorough physical inspection. Buyers should still insist on a full service history verification, as MOT records alone do not confirm that routine maintenance such as cambelt changes, fluid services, and brake fluid renewals have been carried out at the correct intervals. For a 2013 2.0-litre diesel, check whether the timing belt has been replaced according to Skoda's recommended schedule, as this is a costly job if overlooked. Negotiate based on the higher-than-average mileage for its age bracket and the fact that the car is approaching 13 years old, where components like suspension bushes, wheel bearings, and clutch wear may soon require attention. Always carry out a test drive to confirm smooth DSG or manual gear changes and listen for any diesel knock on cold start.
The 2.0-litre TDI diesel engine in this Superb typically returns around 50-60 mpg on a long run, though real-world mixed driving is closer to 45 mpg. Road tax for a vehicle of this age and emissions class falls into a relatively low bracket, generally £30-£165 per year depending on the exact variant. Insurance for a Superb is usually group 20-25, so expect mid-range premiums. Typical annual maintenance on a diesel Superb of this age, including routine servicing, brake pads, and tyres, tends to run £500-£800, with larger items such as clutch or cambelt replacement potentially adding further cost. Overall estimated annual running costs sit in the £1,200-£1,600 range, factoring in fuel, tax, insurance, and maintenance.
Although the MOT history shows no recorded defects, buyers should pay particular attention to areas that commonly cause failures on this model. The aggregate data highlights headlamp issues, drive shaft joint wear, and brake pad deterioration as the top three failure points across 65,484 Superbs analysed. Inspect both headlamps for condensation, proper alignment, and bulb function. Examine drive shaft gaiters for splits, as torn boots lead to joint failure and expensive repairs. Check brake pad and disc wear through the wheels, and listen for any knocking or vibration from the front suspension. Additionally, for the 2.0 TDI engine, look for oil leaks from the timing chain area, DPF warning lights, and ensure the EGR valve is functioning correctly, as these are known weak points on higher-mileage examples.
This black 2.0-litre diesel Skoda Superb, first registered in October 2013, has accumulated 128,455 miles across its recorded MOT history. The vehicle has passed all five MOT tests on record, with no advisories or failures noted, which is a notably clean record. Mileage of approximately 12,000 miles per year sits close to the 11,801-mile annual average for this model across 65,484 analysed vehicles. Combined with the model's 84.2% MOT pass rate, this particular example appears to be a well-kept unit on paper.
The Skoda Superb shows an 84.2% MOT pass rate across 65,484 analysed vehicles, which is a respectable figure broadly in line with the family saloon segment average. The most frequently cited failure points — headlamp issues, drive shaft joint wear, and brake pad condition — are largely age and mileage related rather than design flaws.
