2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · SG63 AAE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in February 2026 passed at 111,435 miles, the advisory regarding imbalanced rear brakes that barely met legal requirements indicates that the braking system is reaching the end of its service interval and requires professional adjustment or repair to prevent a failure in subsequent tests. The car has covered 111,435 miles over 13 years, averaging approximately 8,500 miles per annum. This usage is consistent with typical driving patterns for a vehicle of this age. However, there was a notable increase of over 6,500 miles driven between February 2024 and February 2025, followed by another 4,700 miles in the final year. This steady accumulation of mileage explains the consistent wear observed on high-friction consumables and mechanical components noted in the records. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems, as the history reveals recurring issues with play in the ball joints and worn rear appropriate bushes. The 2024 failure highlighted significantly worn front brake discs and a broken exhaust bracket, suggesting that mechanical faults are only addressed once they reach a critical state. The buyer must verify the current condition of all four tyres, as the vehicle has failed multiple times for being below the legal limit or showing uneven wear patterns, which may indicate alignment issues.
