2013 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · AG62 GFA

The Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at 222,500 miles on 14 May 2025, with the maintenance trend appearing broadly stable across the available record. The most recent test recorded no defects, indicating the vehicle met roadworthiness standards at that point. Prior to this, the test on 28 April 2025 produced a fail at 221,832 miles, yet the DVSA entry lists no defects, a pattern repeated on 3 November 2023 when a fail at 204,411 miles was immediately followed by a pass at 204,416 miles with no faults noted. Such back-to-back fail and pass results with zero recorded defects suggest administrative or presentation anomalies rather than progressive mechanical decline. The odometer shows 222,500 miles against a 2013 registration, equating to roughly 17,115 miles per year and placing this car well above typical use for its age. Mileage climbed from 185,794 at the December 2022 test to 204,416 by November 2023, then to 221,832 by April 2025, reflecting consistent high-distance commuting. A notable gap exists between the December 2022 pass and the November 2023 failure, with no intermediate test logged, but the annual cadence resumed thereafter. The sparse history carries no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across any entry. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody corrosion given the high mileage and thirteen-year age, as MOT records with no advisories do not capture incipient weld or subframe rust. The brake calipers, coil springs, and steering joints should be assessed for wear unseen by the tester, particularly given the repeated fail-with-no-defect entries that warrant verification of test validity. Confirming service history for the drivetrain and clutch is prudent, since 222,500 miles imposes substantial consumable and mechanical load absent documented maintenance.
