2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · DA13 SZR

The 2013 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 February 2026 at 88,133 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 18 February 2025 at 80,851 miles confirms the vehicle has cleared two consecutive annual examinations without advisories or faults. Recorded mileage stands at 88,133 against an approximate 13-year lifespan, equating to roughly 6,779 miles per year which is typical for the age. The DVSA log shows steady annual accumulation: 73,950 miles on 17 February 2024, 80,845 at the failed attempt of 13 February 2025, then 80,851 when it passed five days later, and 88,133 by February 2026. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglect beyond two anomalous failures logged on the same days as subsequent passes. The February 2025 and February 2024 entries show failed tests immediately followed by passes at identical mileages, with no defects cited in the data supplied. This pattern suggests administrative or presentation anomalies at the testing station rather than mechanical faults requiring rectification, since no advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions appear anywhere in the history. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and consumable items not captured by a fault-free MOT, particularly underbody rust, tyre condition, and brake caliper operation given the car's age. The absence of recorded advisories across four years implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but the twin fail-pass pairs warrant confirmation that no suppressed defects exist on the DVSA backend.
