2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · CF13 FFR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on April 10, 2026, but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of reactive neglect. While the most recent test addressed critical safety failures, the previous failure just one day prior indicates a significant deterioration in the braking system, suspension, and emissions systems. The transition from a pass in May 2025 to a multi-point failure in 2026 suggests that repairs are only performed when forced by the MOT tester rather than through proactive preventative maintenance. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 48,951 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 3,765 miles. This low usage typically implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain, yet the data shows a rapid burst of over 10,000 miles between May 2025 and April 2026. This sudden increase in use, combined with the failure for weakened brake discs and a split CV boot, suggests the car may have sat stationary for long periods, leading to perished rubber components and surface surface corrosion despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and braking assembly to ensure the repairs made in April 2026 were comprehensive. The tester previously flagged an offside front ball joint with play and severely weakened brake discs, which are high-risk items if not replaced with quality parts. Furthermore, the recurring failure for high carbon monoxide emissions and the report of a pressurising expansion tank during the April9 test point toward potential engine health issues or head gasket concerns that require a professional diagnostic check to ensure the engine is not overheating.
