2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DY63 ABN

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes over the last decade. The most recent test in August 2025 at 16,686 miles resulted in a pass despite a recurring advisory for a nearside front tyre worn close to the legal limit and showing edge wear. This issue mirrors the finding from August 2024, indicating a persistent pattern of tyre neglect rather than a mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,284 miles per year. The data shows steady, incremental growth, moving from 7,722 miles in 2018 to 16,686 miles in 2025. This low usage suggests the car has been used for short trips or stored for long periods, which reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, such low mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids that are not captured by mileage alone. A buyer should physically inspect the front-end suspension and alignment, as the recurring edge wear on the nearside front tyre suggests a potential tracking issue or a worn suspension bushing. Given the low mileage, the tester must also check for brake corrosion or seizing of the calipers, as vehicles that sit stationary frequently are prone to surface rust. The structural integrity of the chassis and sills is also vital to verify that age-related corrosion has not compromised the vehicle during its long life, despite the absence of recorded failures in the MOT history.
