2013 Skoda Superb 1.6L Diesel · GL13 AEK

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean recent history. The most recent test on 29 October 2025 at 168,220 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes throughout 2022, 2023, and 2024, suggesting that the vehicle has been well-maintained in its later years of service. The mileage accumulation indicates heavy usage for a 2013 vehicle. Between September 2017 and October 2018, the car covered approximately 43,200 miles, which is significantly higher than the subsequent annual averages. Since 2018, the vehicle has averaged roughly 10,000 to 15,000 miles per year. This high total mileage of 168,220 puts increased stress on drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and shock absorbers, though the lack of recent advisories suggests these elements are currently holding up well. The historical record shows minor issues with consumable wear that have since been resolved. In August 2019, the tester flagged multiple tyres near the legal limit on the nearside front, offside front, and offside rear. An earlier failure in March 2016 at 42,066 miles identified worn front brake pads and a lip on the brake discs. These were standard wear-and-tear items rather than indicators of structural failure or mechanical neglect. A prospective buyer should focus on inspecting the suspension system and steering components due to the high cumulative mileage. While the MOT history is currently clear, the heavy use seen between 2017 and 2018 warrants a close check of the control arms and ball joints for play. Additionally, checking the condition of the brake discs and pads is advisable, as the history shows these components have required attention in the past.
