2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · BK13 AAE

The 2013 Ford Fiesta shows a current roadworthy status following the 10 December 2025 MOT pass at 100,477 miles, with the tester logging no defects. Across the supplied record the maintenance trend is stable; no advisories or mechanical faults appear on any test. The vehicle failed on the same date, 10 December 2025, and previously on 12 February 2024 at 98,435 miles, yet both failures carry no recorded defects. This pattern signals administrative or non-mechanical rejections rather than worsening condition. At approximately 13 years old the car has covered 100,477 miles, averaging 7,729 miles per year, which is typical for the age. The recorded distances reveal a sharp slowdown in use. Between 12 February 2024 (98,435 miles) and 13 January 2025 (100,335 miles) it travelled 1,900 miles. From January 2025 to the December 2025 test the odometer rose only 142 miles. Such minimal recent mileage suggests extended periods stationary, a factor that can degrade rubber components, encourage underbody corrosion, and cause brake binding despite clean MOT sheets. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, front coil springs, and rear beam axle for corrosion given the low-use period. Examine brake discs and calipers for binding or surface rust, as standing vehicles often develop seized slides. Check exhaust emissions and the integrity of the catalytic converter, though no advisory flags them. Verify tyre sidewalls for cracking and tread depth, and confirm wiper blade condition. The duplicated fail/pass entries on 12 February 2024 and 10 December 2025 with zero defects warrant a DVSA certificate check to confirm whether the failures stemmed from documentation or plate issues. Prior owners appear to have kept the car mechanically presentable for tests, but the sparse history leaves structural rust and hidden wear unverified. A pre-purchase inspection remains prudent.
