2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · YT13 ADX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 86,072 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just one day prior for multiple defects including a fractured offside front coil spring, a perished lower suspension arm ball joint boot, and electrical faults. The trend shows a recurring issue with suspension components, where the owner appears to only address mechanical failures once they result in an MOT failure. The mileage progression is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,600 miles per year. There is a notable gap in records between June 2019 (54,332 miles) and November 2020 (59,424 miles), where the car covered only 5,092 miles in over seventeen months. Since then, usage has remained steady, with roughly 26,000 miles recorded between 2020 and 2025. This steady usage has introduced gradual wear on consumable items. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the front suspension geometry, as the record shows repeated issues with track rod ends, ball joints, and coil springs. The presence of oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorber first noted in 2023 and persisting through to 2025 suggests the seal is nearing the end of its functional life. Additionally, the offside front inner brake disc showed significant pitting and scoring in 2023, indicating the braking system may suffer from corrosion due to infrequent use, necessitating a check of the remaining disc thickness and condition across all rotors.
