2013 Skoda Fabia 1.2L Petrol · YS13 NWL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with an improving maintenance trend over the last three years. The most recent test in November 2025 at 117,299 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. This follows a clean pass in October 2024, which immediately rectified a failure regarding the offside front anti-roll bar ball joint dust cover. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,000 miles per annum. The data shows steady accumulation, with roughly 7,600 miles driven between October 2023 and October 2024, and another 6,600 miles between October 2024 and November 2025. This regularity suggests the car is not being subjected to long periods of standing, which generally benefits the condition of rubber components and engine seals. A physical inspection should focus on the front-end suspension and braking systems, as these have appeared in the record previously. The 2022 test flagged an offside rear service brake binding, and the 2024 failure highlighted a worn anti-roll bar ball joint. A buyer should verify the absence of play in the suspension bushings and check for even pad wear on the brake discs. Additionally, while the 2023 advisory noted a non-excessive front oil leak, a visual check of the engine bay is necessary to ensure this leak has not progressed since that inspection.
