2013 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · DF13 HGO

The vehicle presents in a stable roadworthiness condition, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on July 22, 2026, at 60,620 miles. This follows a period of three consecutive passes with no recorded defects, suggesting that the mechanical state of the car is currently maintained. While the history shows instances of minor electrical and consumable failures in previous years, the most recent tests indicate that the current owner is addressing defects effectively before they escalate into failures. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 60,620 miles averages approximately 4,663 miles per year. The data shows a significant drop in usage between September 2024 and December 2025, where the car covered only 150 miles in over fourteen months. However, usage increased again in the final interval, with 2,292 miles covered between the two most recent tests. This low annual mileage often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, such as bushes and seals, despite the relatively low physical wear on the drivetrain and suspension. A physical inspection should focus on the braking system, which has shown a recurring trend of pitted and scored discs since 2021. 2022 specifically flagged both front discs as worn, suggesting the vehicle may be prone to corrosion due to its low-use profile. The buyer should also verify the front suspension geometry, as the 2020 failure identified excessive play in the nearside front track rod end. Given the history of tyre-related failures in 2017, checking for sidewall cracking and depth is essential to ensure the rubber has not aged poorly during long periods of standing.
