2013 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · GU63 YSO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clear improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 20 October 2025 at 86,051 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This follows three consecutive years of clean passes, indicating that the mechanical and safety-critical components have been maintained to a standard that avoids immediate failure during annual testing. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-moderate usage profile, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per annum. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the vehicle covered 20,089 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than erratic bursts or long periods of neglect. This low mileage for a thirteen-year-old Skoda Fabia suggests that the drivetrain and suspension components may have suffered less stress-related wear compared to high-mileage examples of the same age. The only noted issue in the history was an offside rear service brake binding recorded in October 2021 at 65,962 miles. The fact that this did not recur in the subsequent four tests suggests the fault was either addressed or was a transient issue that has since resolved. A buyer should still perform a physical check of the rear brake calipers and handbrake mechanism to ensure no new corrosion or seizing has developed over time. Given the age of the vehicle, an in-person inspection should focus on structural integrity and the condition of rubber-based suspension components. While the MOT record is clean, older Skodas often require monitoring for corrosion on the sills, wheel arches, and subframes, which are areas prone to degradation regardless of low mileage.
