2013 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · DS13 ADX

The 2013 Ford Fiesta presents a stable roadworthiness profile, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-03 at 101,268 miles recording a pass and no defects. Previous tests from 2024-06-01 and 2023-06-03 also passed without issues. However, a failed test on 2025-06-03 at identical mileage (100,849 miles) without recorded defects raises questions about procedural consistency. Despite this anomaly, the absence of recurring mechanical or structural faults in the broader record suggests the vehicle has been maintained to acceptable standards. The mileage progression aligns with typical annual usage for the vehicle’s age, averaging 7,790 miles per year. The MOT tests are spaced consistently, with no significant gaps or abrupt mileage spikes. The 2025-06-04 test at 100,849 miles passed, followed by the failed test on 2025-06-03 at the same mileage, which may indicate a data entry error or a technicality unrelated to mechanical condition. No evidence of accelerated wear or neglect is apparent from the record. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, such as bushes and coil springs, which can degrade over time, and inspect brakes for uneven wear or corrosion, as these are common issues in older vehicles. Structural integrity should also be assessed, particularly around the chassis and body panels, to rule out hidden rust or damage. While the MOT history shows no critical failures, a physical inspection is essential to confirm the absence of undetected issues not flagged in the recorded tests.
