2013 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · EJ13 AEG

The 2013 Ford Fiesta remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT, which passed on 2025-12-02 at 122,382 miles with no defects recorded. However, the vehicle’s MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of failure and subsequent pass at identical mileages, such as the 2024-12-04 test (118,489 miles) and 2025-12-01 test (122,382 miles), both failing and passing without recorded defects. This suggests potential administrative inconsistencies or minor technical issues that resolved quickly, but no significant mechanical or structural faults are documented. The trend shows stability in roadworthiness, though the lack of defect details limits a deeper analysis. The vehicle’s mileage of 122,382 miles at 13 years old aligns with an average annual usage of 9,414 miles, typical for its age. However, the MOT records show minimal mileage progression between 2023-12-05 (114,851 miles) and 2024-12-04 (118,489 miles), a 3,638-mile increase over 12 months, followed by a 3,900-mile jump to 122,382 miles by 2025-12-02. This uneven growth could indicate periods of reduced usage or inconsistent tracking, but no major wear patterns are evident from the data. The MOT history is sparse, with no advisories or critical failures reported, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a basic standard. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear coil springs and bushings, for signs of wear given the vehicle’s age. Brake discs and calipers should also be checked for corrosion or uneven wear, as these are common issues in older models. The absence of structural corrosion reports is positive, but a thorough underbody inspection is recommended. Additionally, the repeated MOT failures at identical mileages warrant verification of the vehicle’s service history to confirm no unresolved technical issues exist. Overall, the car appears mechanically sound but requires careful scrutiny of its maintenance and usage patterns.
