2013 FORD FIESTA1.0L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 18 September 2025 at 80,175 miles with no recorded defects. This follows a failure just nine days prior due to an insecure nearside obligatory mirror, a minor defect that was promptly rectified. The history suggests an owner who responds to MOT testing requirements, as the car has consistently returned to passing standards despite mechanical or structural flags over the last several years. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle averaging approximately 6,167 miles per year. The data shows steady progression, moving from 19,739 miles in 2016 to 80,175 miles in 2025. This low annual usage indicates the car has not been subjected to high-stress motorway mileage, though the long intervals between tests suggest that age-related degradation of rubber-based components and seals may be a factor regardless of the low odometer reading. A physical inspection should focus on the suspension and engine mounts based on previous recorded issues. The August 2024 test at 76,322 miles identified a damaged engine mounting and a split gearbox mount. While these were not deemed to excess, the buyer should check for excessive vibrations or drivetrain movement which could indicate these mounts are nearing failure. Additionally, the 2020 report of a corroded offside lower coil spring necessitates a thorough check of all remaining springs for surface rust or fractures, which can lead to structural failure. Wheel geometry also remains a point of attention given the 2017 advisory regarding inside wear on the offside front tyre. This indicates a previous alignment issue or worn suspension bushes. The buyer should verify the current tyre wear patterns to ensure the tracking fault has not returned. Beyond these specific areas, the lack of recurring structural corrosion or brake failures in the record suggests the chassis remains in fair condition for its age.
