2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · EJ13 YCE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by five consecutive MOT passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 21 March 2026 at 169,248 miles resulted in no defects, maintaining a trend of clean certificates dating back to 2022. This consistency suggests that the previous owners have maintained the vehicle to a standard that avoids immediate mechanical or safety failures during the testing process. The mileage data indicates high-intensity usage, averaging approximately 13,000 miles per year over its thirteen-year life. Between March 2023 and March 2024, the car covered 22,030 miles, representing a significant spike in usage compared to the 15,915 miles recorded in the preceding year. While the high mileage suggests frequent motorway use which can mitigate engine wear, the total of nearly 170,000 miles places considerable strain on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension components compared to lower-mileage examples. Despite the clean MOT history, the high cumulative mileage necessitates a thorough physical inspection of components prone to stress and wear. A buyer should examine the suspension geometry for perished bushes or worn control arms, as these often degrade at this mileage bracket. Given the age and distance traveled, checking the brake system for caliper corrosion and thin discs is essential, alongside a close look at the chassis and structural sills to ensure no hidden corrosion has developed that escaped the visual MOT inspections.
