2013 FORD FIESTA1.2L Petrol

The most recent MOT on 2025-11-12 confirmed the vehicle passed with a single note about front tyres worn close to the legal limit, specifically showing inner-edge wear. This aligns with a long-standing pattern of tyre wear issues dating back to 2021, when front tyres were also noted as worn on the inner edge. The same issue reappeared in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, indicating a persistent problem that may stem from alignment, suspension wear, or driving habits. Recurring suspension-related defects include rear axle beam bushes showing slight wear, first recorded in 2021 and reconfirmed in 2022, 2023, and 2024. A 2024 MOT also noted an offside front brake pipe corroded and covered in grease, a separate but notable issue. These defects suggest gradual wear in key areas, though no major failures or safety-critical issues were recorded. The pattern shows consistency rather than escalation, with no new defects added in the 2025 MOT. The vehicle’s mileage of 106,650 miles over 13 years equates to roughly 8,204 miles per year, which is typical for its age. This implies moderate use without extreme under- or over-mileage, though the exact driving conditions (e.g., city vs. motorway) remain unclear.
