2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CU13 OSB

The 2013 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 September 2025 at 36,562 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 5 September 2024 at 35,678 miles. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or mechanical faults across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with MOT standards. Recorded mileage sits at 36,562 against an approximate 13-year age, equating to roughly 2,812 miles per year. The history shows light and steady use: 32,939 miles on 5 April 2022, 34,639 on 7 July 2023, and 35,665 at the failed test on 23 August 2024. A notable gap exists between the April 2022 and July 2023 entries, a 15-month interval with only 1,700 miles added. The failed test in August 2024 recorded no defects, and the car passed twelve days later at 35,678 miles, suggesting the failure related to administrative or non-mechanical grounds rather than wear. Low mileage and a clean MOT record imply the previous keeper performed basic upkeep and avoided heavy duty cycles. Standing periods from low annual use can still age rubber components and promote corrosion invisible to the tester. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers for stiffness or seizing, and check underside structural integrity for rust. Examine the exhaust system and brake discs for surface degradation from infrequent operation. Confirm tyre sidewall condition and wiper blade flexibility, as these consumables degrade with time rather than distance. The absence of advisories does not exempt the car from a pre-purchase mechanical inspection.
