2013 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · DN62 XVH

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding braking and suspension-related components. The most recent test in September 2025 at 30,598 miles identified multiple advisories including worn front brake discs and a binding offside front caliper. While the car passed the test, the recurring mention of pitted and scored discs across 2024 and 2025 suggests that the braking system is suffering from corrosion or neglect likely due to low usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,354 miles per year. Data between November 2022 at 24,726 miles and September 2025 at 30,598 miles shows a slow accumulation of only 5,872 miles over nearly three years. This low mileage often correlates with the degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear, evidenced by the 2025 advisory for a cracked and perished offside front tyre which is a common symptom of vehicles sitting stationary for extended periods. A buyer must inspect the front braking assembly thoroughly to address the binding caliper and surface degradation of the discs. The pitting noted in 2024 and 2025 indicates that the brakes are not being used frequently enough to clear surface rust. Furthermore, the history shows recurring axle swivel pin and bush wear dating back to 2021 and 2022. A physical inspection should check for excessive play in the suspension to ensure these aged rubber elements have not deteriorated beyond the point of requiring immediate replacement.
