2013 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · DM53 LEW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean MOT pass on 13 March 2026 at 94,629 miles. While the record shows a failure just four days prior at 94,628 miles, the lack of recorded defects on that specific failure entry suggests a potential administrative error or a minor issue that was rectified immediately rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since 2023, the test results indicate that the car has maintained a consistent standard of compliance without recurring technical advisories. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,300 miles per year. Between February 2023 and February 2024, the car covered 3,960 miles, while the subsequent year saw 4,607 miles. The most recent interval between March 2025 and March 2026 showed 4,274 miles. This suggests a regular use pattern which is often more beneficial for rubber components and brake assemblies than high-age vehicles that suffer from seizing or corrosion during long periods of standing. Because the MOT history is free of recorded advisories regarding structural corrosion, brake piping, or suspension wear, a physical inspection should focus on the typical wear points of this generation of Fiesta. A buyer should check the rear wheel arches for bubbling and the condition of the front arm bushes, as these often fail without an MOT despite clean records. Given the mileage approaching 100,000 miles, verifying the condition of the timing belt and checking for oil leaks is necessary to ensure the age-related degradation of rubber components has not yet manifested as a mechanical risk.
