2013 FORD FIESTA1.2L Petrol

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT pass on 16 October 2025 at 87,548 miles. While the record shows initial failures on that same date, the lack of recorded defects on the passing certificate suggests these failures were likely due to minor-presentation items that were rectified immediately rather than systemic mechanical failure. The overall trend over the last three years indicates a vehicle that is maintained to a passing standard without recurring structural or escalating mechanical advisories. The mileage pattern is consistent with a low-to-moderate usage profile, averaging approximately 6,700 miles per year. Between October 2023 and October 2024, the car covered 6,068 miles, followed by another 8,685 miles in the subsequent year leading up to the 2025 test. This steady usage suggests that wear on the drivetrain and suspension is likely even, though the low mileage relative to the thirteen-year age means that rubber components may have undergone more degradation than seen on higher-mileage vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the components most susceptible to age-related wear despite the mileage. Despite the clean history regarding advisories, the inspector should check the suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or fatigue, as these are common failure points on Fiesta of this era. The brakes should also be examined for corroded discs or binding calipers, as periods of lower use can lead to surface pitting. Checking the structural integrity of the sills and rear wheel arches remains vital to ensure that no hidden corrosion has compromised the chassis between the clean MOT results.
