2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · EK63 YCE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed the 12 November 2025 test at 63 387 mi with no recorded defects. A concurrent failure on the same day flagged ineffective offside and nearside windscreen wipers (3.4 (b)(ii)), indicating a minor consumable issue that was rectified before the pass. The maintenance trend shows improvement since 2023, when brake‑pad wear, headlamp aim and tyre‑tread problems were present, yet recurring wiper faults suggest ongoing basic upkeep gaps. Mileage accumulation over the car’s 13‑year life averages roughly 4 900 mi per year, a low figure for its age. The log reveals a notable jump between November 2020 (39 051 mi) and November 2021 (46 810 mi), implying a period of higher usage after a relatively static phase. Subsequent increments are steady: +7 690 mi in 2022, +4 904 mi in 2023, +2 318 mi in 2024 and +1 665 mi to the latest reading. The data is sparse before 2017 but otherwise presents a consistent, low‑to‑moderate mileage pattern. A buyer should inspect the windscreen wiper blades for effective clearing, verify brake‑pad thickness on both front inner sides, and examine the front lower suspension arm ball joints for excessive wear. Headlamp aim should be checked for correct beam projection, and tyre tread depths on the front inner tyres must meet the 1.6 mm minimum. The rear lower reflector security, noted insecure in 2019, warrants visual confirmation for proper mounting and corrosion‑free condition. Structural integrity appears largely stable; the only repeated concern is the rear reflector mounting, which could indicate localized corrosion or loose fixings. A thorough visual check for rust around the rear panel and a manual test of suspension movement will confirm whether the ball‑joint wear has progressed beyond the recorded excessive condition. Overall, the car’s low mileage and recent clean MOT suggest a well‑maintained platform, provided the identified consumables and suspension components are addressed.
