2013 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · AV13 OGD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passing tests. The most recent inspection on 15 July 2025 at 63,275 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure just one day prior at 63,274 miles. This immediate rectification suggests an administrative error or a minor component issue that was resolved on the spot, rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since 2022, the car has maintained a clean record without advisories, indicating a high standard of preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,867 miles per year. Between October 2022 at 48,127 miles and October 2024 at 59,719 miles, the car covered 11,592 miles, which aligns with low-intensity usage. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long periods between use can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based parts or fluid breakdown. The intervals between tests remain regular, showing no signs of ownership neglect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to age-related degradation despite the low mileage. Examine the suspension bushes, coil springs, and tyres for cracking or perishing, as these materials age without high mileage. Given the low usage, check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when a vehicle sits for extended periods. Verify the structural integrity of the sills and arches to ensure no hidden rust has developed, although the MOT history has not flagged any structural concerns to date.
