2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · CU13 XEX

The 2013 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 June 2025 at 99,022 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The single failure on 6 June 2024 at 95,861 miles is anomalous: the DVSA entry shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or process rejection rather than a mechanical fault, immediately followed by a pass on the same day at identical mileage. Mileage accumulation sits at a typical level for a thirteen-year-old car. The record shows 91,107 miles in July 2022, 92,917 in May 2023, 95,861 by June 2024, and 99,022 by June 2025. That equates to roughly 2,900 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests and about 3,100 per year thereafter, well below the implied annual average of 7,617. The sparse five-entry history with zero advisories across three years suggests the vehicle saw light use and consistent basic upkeep, though the absence of flagged wear items may also reflect test tolerance rather than confirmed component condition. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake disc thickness, as these consumables degrade with age even under low mileage and will not show on a clean MOT if within limits. The lack of corrosion or structural integrity advisories in the record is reassuring for a UK climate vehicle, but standing periods implied by low annual use can accelerate underbody rust and flat-spot tyres. Given the clean trajectory and no recurring faults, serious mechanical risk appears low. Verify the 2024 failure cause in person via the DVSA portal and confirm service history, since the MOT alone does not evidence cambelt, fluid, or clutch maintenance on this high-mileage-for-age Fiesta.
