2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AE05 AAA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing its annual examinations. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 77,790 miles resulted in a clean pass with no recorded defects, indicating that mechanical and safety systems currently meet minimum regulatory standards. This follows a period of clean passes in 2022 and 2020, suggesting the car has been maintained well without significant recurring mechanical failures. The mileage pattern is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,000 miles per annum. There is a visible gap between June 2022 at 69,935 miles and October 2025 at 77,790 miles, where the car covered only 7,855 miles over three years. While this low usage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, periods of standing can sometimes lead to rubber degradation or fluid issues. The failure in June 2021 at 59,510 miles was immediately rectified, as evidenced by the subsequent pass. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of age-related wear beyond mileage, specifically checking for perished suspension bushes or seized brake calipers which often affect low-mileage cars. Given the age of the Fiesta, a close inspection of the chassis and sills is necessary to ensure structural corrosion has not compromised the frame. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking, as the low-use vehicles often retain aged rubber despite having sufficient tread depth.
