2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · LB13 ABZ

The 2013 Ford Fiesta passed its most recent MOT test on 2026-06-03 with 110,399 miles. However, this test revealed several issues, including a distorted road wheel, damaged tyre, and worn brake components. The overall maintenance trend appears to be worsening, with a notable increase in advisories and failures over the past few years. The 2026 test also highlighted the need for attention to minor consumables such as the front registration plate and rear seat belt buckles. The vehicle's mileage pattern is roughly typical for its age, with approximately 8,492 miles added per year. However, there are some notable gaps in the mileage record, with a significant jump from 39,098 miles in 2017 to 48,991 miles in 2018. This could indicate periods of inactivity or long-term storage, which may have contributed to the wear and tear seen on some components. Conversely, the mileage has accumulated steadily since 2019, with a notable increase in the past two years. A closer examination of the MOT history reveals several recurring faults and structural/mechanical concerns. The suspension has been flagged on multiple occasions, with play detected in the rear suspension arm ball joints in 2019, 2021, and 2023. The brake components have also shown signs of wear, with worn brake discs and pads noted in 2026. Additionally, the tyres have been damaged or worn on several occasions, with cuts and nail punctures recorded in 2022 and 2020. It is essential for the buyer to inspect these components in person to assess their condition and determine the extent of any necessary repairs. The buyer should also be aware of the potential for further wear and tear on the vehicle's structural components, particularly given the recent advisories regarding the distorted road wheel and corroded brake components. A thorough inspection of the vehicle's underside, suspension, and brake systems is recommended to identify any potential issues before they become major problems.
