2013 FORD FIESTA1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a generally roadworthy profile with a stable maintenance trend despite minor mechanical lapses. The most recent test on 14 May 2026 at 62,961 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional offside main beam headlamp, which was rectified immediately to achieve a pass. Prior to this, the car maintained a clean record for several years, suggesting that the owner typically addresses safety-critical items before they escalate into major failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,800 miles per year. The data shows consistent low-intensity usage, with a gap of only 8,621 miles recorded between May 2025 and May 2026. However, periods of low use can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or brake corrosion. The record indicates the vehicle has undergone annual testing since its inception, and the low total mileage suggests that the drivetrain and engine have not suffered from the heavy wear typically seen in high-mileage examples. A buyer should focus on the front suspension geometry, as the 2024 test at 50,633 miles flagged play in the offside front suspension arm ball joint. While this passed the subsequent test, a physical inspection of the remaining ball joints and tie rod ends should ensure no further play has developed. The 2019 advisory regarding uneven tyre wear on the rear axle suggests previous alignment issues or worn shocks, which should be verified against the current set of tyres. Given the lack of structural advisories in the history, the chassis appears sound, but a standard check for corrosion on the sills and underbody remains necessary for a vehicle of this age.
