2013 FORD FIESTA1.2L Petrol

The Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy following the most recent DVSA test on 13 January 2026 at 77,862 miles, where the tester recorded a pass with no defects. Maintenance trend remains stable across the available history, with consecutive passes in June 2023 at 58,887 miles, June 2024 at 66,391 miles, May 2025 at 73,597 miles and January 2026. The sole anomaly appears on 12 January 2026, when the same mileage of 77,862 returned a failure yet with no defects listed; this points to an administrative or documentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, and the next day's pass resolved it. Odometer readings show low annual use for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 5,989 miles per year against the recorded 77,862 miles. The interval between tests spans eleven months from June 2023 to June 2024 with 7,504 miles added, then eleven months to May 2025 with 7,206 miles, then eight months to January 2026 with 4,265 miles. Such modest accumulation indicates light commuting or periodic standing. The clean record with zero advisories across five years suggests the previous keeper maintained basic consumables, though the unexplained fail without recorded defects hints at either lapsed paperwork or an unlogged minor rectification. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and suspension components given the car's age. Standing periods implicit in low mileage can accelerate corrosion on subframes and brake discs, even when testers noted no advisories. Examine coil springs, suspension bushes and brake calipers for binding or seizing that short tests might miss. Verify the V5C and test certificate to clarify the January 2026 fail, ensuring no hidden rectification occurred off-record.
