2013 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · MW13 XDT

The Skoda Fabia holds a roadworthy status after the 4 February 2026 MOT test at 97,832 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend shows stability in mechanical condition across recent examinations despite an anomalous failure on 3 February 2026 at 97,831 miles where the tester logged no defects. That prior day failure indicates an administrative or documentation irregularity rather than a fault in suspension, brakes, or structure. The vehicle cleared the latest test cleanly and displays no worsening pattern of advisories. Age stands at roughly thirteen years with a recorded 97,832 miles, equating to near typical annual use of about 7,500 miles. The mileage trace raises queries. In the 1 February 2024 test the odometer read 85,278 miles. On 4 February 2025 the system shows a failed entry at 91,605 miles and a passed entry at 128,436 miles on the same day. Such conflicting figures suggest either odometer tampering or DVSA recording error. By 3 February 2026 the mileage had dropped to 97,831 before the pass next day at 97,832. The sparse clean test outcomes mask an inconsistent mileage history that a buyer must investigate. No mechanical defects or advisories appear in the official records across any test, so the Fabia shows no recurring suspension bushes, coil spring, binding caliper, or corrosion issues on paper. Previous owners appear to have maintained basic test compliance, yet the absence of flagged wear does not confirm component health. A purchaser should physically examine brake discs for lip and scoring, inspect subframe and sills for structural rust, and assess suspension arms for worn bushes. The contradictory mileage entries demand verification of vehicle identity and odometer calibration against service invoices. Given the clean sheets, consumables like tyres and wiper blades may simply have been within limits at each examination. The same-day fail and pass with no defects in February 2025 and February 2026 warrant a check of test certificates and V5C logbook. Prospective owner should still commission an independent mechanical appraisal before purchase to validate underlying condition.
