2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CE13 LLF

This 2013 Ford Fiesta has maintained a consistent roadworthiness record over the past three MOT cycles, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the five tests spanning from January 2022 to October 2025. The most recent test on 27 October 2025, at 114,605 miles, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current DVSA standards, though it is now over nine months past its due date. The absence of recurring issues suggests the vehicle has been subject to either disciplined maintenance or has benefited from favourable mechanical luck, though no record indicates whether major components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain bearings have been proactively replaced. The lack of advisories also implies the tester did not identify any latent concerns that might escalate into failures. The mileage progression of approximately 8,800 miles per year aligns with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, with no abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity. The intervals between tests—ranging from 10,000 to 14,000 miles—reflect regular driving without extreme wear patterns. However, the final gap of 4,111 miles since the October 2025 test suggests the vehicle has been stationary for nearly a year, which could introduce risks such as tyre degradation, battery sulphation, or minor corrosion from exposure. The absence of earlier MOT records prior to 2022 makes it impossible to assess long-term maintenance consistency, but the recent history at least demonstrates no immediate cause for alarm. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of high-wear components that are not routinely tested under MOT standards. Focus on the suspension—particularly the rear bushes and coil springs—for signs of cracking or excessive play, as these are common failure points in Fiestas of this age. The brake system warrants scrutiny, especially the rear calipers and discs, for binding or uneven wear, despite no MOT flags. Structural integrity should also be checked, particularly around the wheel arches, sills, and subframe, for corrosion that could compromise rigidity. Finally, verify the condition of the exhaust system for leaks or rust through, as these are often overlooked until they become MOT failures. The lack of advisories does not guarantee these areas are flawless, only that they did not fail the most recent visual inspection.
