2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · BF13 FDG

The 2026‑04‑23 MOT at 64,964 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend. At 13 years old, the 64,964‑mile odometer equates to roughly 4,997 miles per year, a rate lower than typical for a vehicle of this age, suggesting lighter use or extended periods of inactivity; the interval between the 2025‑04‑11 and 2026‑04‑23 tests is just over a year, and earlier tests in 2024 were spaced similarly, showing consistent testing without abrupt mileage spikes. Recurring observations include severely deteriorated ball‑joint dust covers on both front suspension arms, slight wear on rear axle swivel pins and bushes, corroded rear coil springs, early‑stage corrosion of all brake hose furrels, and edge‑wear patterns on the front tyres, while the windscreen washer has failed repeatedly, pointing to ongoing but non‑critical maintenance items. A buyer should therefore inspect the front and rear suspension for play or worn bushings, examine the coil springs and chassis for rust, verify the condition and flexibility of the brake hoses, assess tyre tread and edge wear, test the washer system, and confirm that the brakes operate without binding, as these items reflect the documented recurring faults.
