2013 FORD FIESTA1.0L Petrol

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 8 June 2026 at 77,699 miles. The maintenance trend shows improvement following a period of neglect in mid-2025. While the car previously failed a test due to safety-critical tyre and exhaust issues, the subsequent re-test was clean with no recorded defects, indicating that the previous owner addressed the necessary repairs to bring the vehicle back to standard. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 77,699 miles represents an average annual usage of approximately 6,000 miles. This low-mileage profile is consistent across the records, showing steady intervals rather than bursts of driving. Between June 2024 and June 2025, the car covered 4,537 miles, which suggests light-duty use on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, low mileage on older vehicles can sometimes lead to degradation of rubber-based components or corrosion on brake discs if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should physically inspect the front exhaust system to ensure the flexi-pipe repair performed in 2025 remains robust and does not show signs of fresh corrosion or weeping leaks. Given the 2025 failure for exposed cords on the tyres, a thorough check of the current rubber is vital to ensure no sidewall damage or uneven wear has developed. Because the vehicle is relatively old, the inspection should also look for cracking in the suspension bushes and perished hoses, as these parts often degrade with age regardless of the mileage driven.
