2013 Skoda Fabia 1.6L Diesel · SV13 KLE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent MOT history. The most recent test in October 2025 at 31,803 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects, indicating the car currently meets minimum safety standards. While a failure occurred in October 2024 at 30,381 miles, the issue was rectified immediately to pass the following day, suggesting a minor defect was quickly addressed rather than a systemic mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 2013 vehicle, with a total record of 31,803 miles representing an average usage of only about 2,446 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-interval usage, such as the 1,458 miles driven between the October 2022 and 2023 tests, and the 910 miles recorded between the final two tests. This low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also increases risks associated with age-related degradation and long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of age-related degradation rather than mileage-based wear. Inspect rubber components for perished cracks, specifically suspension bushes and tyre sidewalls, which often fail when a vehicle sits for long periods. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or seized calipers, as low-use vehicles are prone to brake seizing. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the chassis and underside sills to ensure that the low mileage has not masked hidden rust developing over the thirteen-year lifespan.
