Our Verdict
Exercise extreme caution before proceedi
Your absolute priority must be to request the full service history and a physical inspection of the vehicle's documentation. Since no MOT history is available digitally, you must verify if the vehicle has been off the road or if there is a gap in the official records that needs explaining. Do not rely on verbal assurances from a seller regarding its condition.
If you decide to proceed, ensure a professional mechanic performs a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection. Focus on the areas where this model frequently fails, such as the exhaust system and coil springs. Given the age of the vehicle, you should also check for signs of significant corrosion or wear that would not be visible in a standard walk-around.
The 998cc petrol engine is typically found in lower insurance groups and tax bands, making it relatively economical for urban driving. Fuel economy for this engine size is generally efficient, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.
Maintenance costs for a Ford Fiesta are usually manageable due to the high availability of parts. However, you should budget for common replacement items like headlamps, exhausts, or coil springs, which are noted as top failure reasons for this model across a large dataset. An estimated annual running cost is provided below, but this is subject to the vehicle's actual mechanical state.
Because there is no MOT history to reference, you must conduct a thorough manual inspection. Pay close attention to the lighting systems, specifically the headlamps, as this is a frequent failure point for this model. Check the underside of the car for exhaust corrosion and inspect the suspension, particularly the coil springs, for any signs of snapping or excessive wear.
Additionally, since the engine is a smaller 998cc unit, listen for any unusual noises during a test drive that might indicate wear. Check the tyres and brake components, as these are standard safety items that would typically appear on an MOT certificate if they had been previously flagged.
This 2013 Ford Fiesta, finished in black with a 998cc petrol engine, lacks any recorded MOT history in the provided data. While the model itself is common, the inability to verify its past compliance or maintenance through official testing records makes this a high-risk proposition. Without data to confirm its mileage or previous failure patterns, any valuation remains purely speculative.
Aggregate data from over 1.5 million vehicles shows a 77.7% average MOT pass rate for this model, with headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs being the most frequent causes of failure.
