2013 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · NU63 FHT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record in its most recent inspections. The latest MOT, conducted in September 2025 at 54,234 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet the required standard. This follows a failure in September 2023 due to a fractured offside front coil spring, which was promptly rectified as evidenced by the immediate pass on the same day at that mileage. The mileage pattern is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,172 miles per year. The data shows consistent but light usage, such as the progression from 38,733 miles in September 2022 to 54,234 miles in September 2025 over a three-year interval. While this low mileage generally preserves the drivetrain and internal engine components, it increases the risk of age-related material degradation, which was evidenced by the 2020 advisory regarding perishing tyres due to age or low use. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system and suspension, as these have shown signs of wear previously. The 2021 test flagged pitted and scored front brake discs, so the buyer should verify the current thickness and condition of the rotors for any excessive corrosion. Given the 2023 coil spring failure, a thorough check of the suspension arms and bushes for signs of cracking or tearing is essential, as rubber components can become brittle on vehicles that sit for long periods between uses.
