2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CP62 UUB

The Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a current valid pass recorded on 7 February 2026 at 88,407 miles. The DVSA log shows no defects or advisories across the three annual tests from February 2024 to February 2026. On 7 February 2026 the tester first issued a fail then a pass on the same day, both with no defects recorded. An identical pattern occurred on 10 and 11 February 2025 at 84,864 miles. These paired entries suggest administrative re-tests rather than emerging mechanical faults, leaving the maintenance history clean and unwavering. Mileage progression aligns with typical use for a 13-year-old hatchback. The car covered 72,320 miles by 19 February 2024, rose to 84,864 by 10 February 2025, a 12,544-mile year, then added only 3,543 miles to the February 2026 test. That sharp drop in annual accumulation indicates the vehicle stood largely idle in the last twelve months. Sparse test data limits deep trend analysis, but the zero defect count implies previous owners addressed routine service items promptly. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs and brake discs given the vehicle's age and reduced recent usage. Standing periods accelerate corrosion on structural members and exhaust components even when the MOT shows clear. The tester logged no advisories on tyre tread or wiper blades, yet these consumables warrant a visual check for perishing. Verify front subframe and sill structural integrity for rust, and confirm the brake calipers are free from binding, as intermittent issues may escape a single test day. The repeated same-day fail and pass with zero defects points to a meticulous keeper who corrected any presentation anomaly immediately rather than deferring repairs. That behaviour, paired with low mileage last year, suggests the car was garaged or lightly used. Such custody limits mechanical fatigue but raises the need to assess fluid degradation and lubricate hinges before regular service resumes.
