2013 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · DX13 AFK

The 2013 Ford Fiesta remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT on 2025-07-21 at 63,359 miles, which recorded no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, with no recurring issues identified across its last four tests. The 2023-09-25 and 2022-10-14 passes (44,440 and 41,318 miles) also showed no faults, while the earlier 2021-11-01 test at 33,965 miles similarly passed. The single failed test in 2022-10-14 at 41,312 miles recorded no defects, suggesting it may have been a procedural error or unrelated to mechanical condition. The vehicle’s mileage of 63,359 miles over 13 years equates to an average of 4,874 miles annually, which is low for its age. Notable gaps exist in the record, with the 2021-11-01 test followed by a 2022-10-14 pass and failure, then a 2023-09-25 pass. The jump from 41,318 to 63,359 miles between 2023 and 2025 suggests a sudden increase in usage, potentially accelerating wear on components like tyres, brakes, and suspension. However, the absence of defects in the latest test implies the car has been maintained to a standard that meets legal requirements. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden wear. The brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the vehicle was stored for extended periods. The exhaust system requires scrutiny for rust or leaks, given the age and potential for corrosion. Structural integrity is not flagged in the record, but a visual check for rust on the chassis or body panels is advisable, especially around wheel arches and sills. The MOT history indicates no critical issues, but physical inspection remains essential to confirm the car’s condition.
