Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

This vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 25 March 2026 at 91,777 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean certificates over the last three years, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is typical for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 7,060 miles per year. Between the March 2024 test at 87,083 miles and the March 2026 test at 91,777 miles, the vehicle covered 4,694 miles. This relatively low annual usage over the last two years indicates a light duty cycle, which generally reduces the rate of wear on the drivetrain and interior components. The MOT history is unusually clean for a thirteen year old vehicle, showing no recorded advisories for corrosion, brake wear, or suspension fatigue across multiple tests. While the record shows failures on 20 March 2024 and 4 April 2025, the lack of specific defect data suggests these were likely administrative or minor issues resolved immediately on the same day. A buyer should still conduct a physical inspection of the underbody and sills. The absence of recorded corrosion in the DVSA data is positive, but Ford Fiestas of this era often develop rust in structural areas that may not always be flagged until they become critical. Checking the condition of the brake discs and suspension bushes is advised to ensure the lack of advisories reflects actual maintenance rather than a lenient testing process.
