AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The vehicle's MOT history shows a stable trend of passing tests over the last four years. The most recent test on 18 July 2025 shows a pass with no recorded defects, following a failure on the same date. This failure did not specify any defects, which suggests a minor issue was rectified to achieve the subsequent pass. The vehicle has covered 71,238 miles over its 13-year lifespan, averaging approximately 5,480 miles per year. This represents low annual usage for a 2013 model. The MOT records from August 2022 through to July 2025 show consistent annual testing without significant gaps in the inspection timeline. Because the recent MOT records show no recurring advisories or failures related to suspension bushes, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, there is no documented evidence of deteriorating mechanical components in the official data. A buyer should still physically inspect the vehicle for signs of corrosion on the underside or seized brake calipers, as these common issues are not present in the provided history. The lack of recorded advisories for tyres or wiper blades suggests these consumables were within legal limits at the time of the 2025 test. buying_score: 75 risk_level: Low.

Our Verdict

A solid purchase option for those seeking a small, economical hatchback. The recent MOT history shows no recorded defects, making it a relatively low-risk prospect.

When viewing this Fiesta, check the service history to see how the 1.0L EcoBoost engine has been maintained, as regular oil changes are critical for this specific engine variant. Although the MOT history is clean, you should still verify that all consumables, such as tyres and brake pads, have sufficient life remaining.

Negotiate based on the mileage; at 71,238 miles, this vehicle has been driven more than the statistical average for its age. Ensure you ask for proof of any recent major maintenance, such as cambelt replacements, which are common requirements for this engine type around this mileage.

The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing it in a lower insurance group and tax band, making it affordable for newer drivers. Fuel economy should be competitive for a small hatchback of this era.

Maintenance costs for a Fiesta are generally predictable due to the vast availability of parts. Expect typical running costs to include regular servicing, MOTs, and occasional wear-and-tear items like tyres or wipers. An estimated annual running cost is approximately £900-£1,200, depending on your annual mileage and insurance profile.

Given the model's aggregate data, pay close attention to the headlamps, exhaust system, and coil springs, as these are identified as top failure reasons for this model across 1.5 million analysed vehicles. Even though this specific car has no recent failures, these components are prone to wear.

Additionally, inspect the engine bay for any signs of fluid leaks and check the condition of the drive belt. Since the most recent MOT in July 2025 passed with no defects, the vehicle appears to have met the minimum safety standards, but a physical inspection of the suspension and braking components is always advised.

This 2013 red Ford Fiesta features a 998cc petrol engine and has covered 71,238 miles as of its last MOT in July 2025. The vehicle has a consistent record of passing its MOT tests since 2022, with the most recent test showing no defects. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 5,835 per year, the lack of recorded failures in the last four years is a notable aspect of its history.

The Ford Fiesta is a high-volume model with a 77.6% average MOT pass rate across the dataset.
