This 2013 Skoda has 9 MOT tests on record with a 67% pass rate and 15,698 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the high mileage and past suspension issues warrant careful consideration.
The vehicle shows exceptionally high usage at 29,776 miles/year, significantly above the UK average of 8,000 miles/year, with a low initial 15,698 miles over 13 years.
Things to check
- High annual mileage of 29,776 miles/yr (Feb 2021) suggests heavy wear and tear.
- Major failure for both front shock absorbers (fluid leak) on 2017-03-01 indicates significant suspension wear.
- Recent advisory for Nearside Front Tyre worn close to legal limit (Feb 2019) signals immediate replacement is needed.
Working in its favour
- No recurring failures on the same system, indicating isolated issues were addressed.
- The single major failure for shock absorbers was promptly rectified and passed retest on 2017-03-03.
- Euro NCAP safety rating of 5/5 stars (2024) confirms high safety standards for this model.
- Consistent annual mileage trajectory, despite being high, shows no suspicious drops or inconsistencies.
