2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · NL13 AAU

The 2013 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 7 October 2025 at 63,906 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior annual tests from 2023 through 2024 also passed cleanly, showing no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, exhaust emissions, or structural corrosion across the available record. The odometer sat at 48,898 miles for the 11 October 2022 test, then rose to 53,685 by 18 October 2023, 58,775 by 17 October 2024, and 63,906 by October 2025. That equates to roughly 5,000 miles per year, well below typical use for a thirteen-year-old car. Low annual mileage implies lighter mechanical loading, though the 3-mile discrepancy between the 17 October 2024 failure at 58,772 miles and the same-day pass at 58,775 miles suggests an administrative or correction entry rather than a genuine fault, with no defects listed on either. Given the clean MOT history, the buyer should still commission an independent inspection of consumable items not always captured at test: tyre sidewall condition, wiper blades, and fluid levels. Standing periods implied by low mileage can allow brake calipers to seize or suspension components to degrade through lack of movement, so the front coil springs and rear trailing arm bushes warrant physical checks. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear in the record, and the absence of corrosion or binding brake advisories points to reasonable previous ownership care. A pre-purchase examination should nonetheless confirm underbody integrity and confirm the 2024 same-day fail-pass anomaly with DVSA before completion.
