2013 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · EO13 SNU

The 2013 Ford Fiesta presents a currently roadworthy status following a pass at 140,615 miles on 19 April 2025, with the maintenance trend appearing broadly stable across the recorded history. The vehicle cleared its most recent test with no defects logged, though the preceding March 2025 and March 2024 attempts each returned a fail at 140,472 and 136,428 miles respectively, both with no defects recorded by the tester. This pattern of failure without listed faults typically points to administrative or documentation issues at the testing station rather than escalating mechanical decline, and the absence of advisories across all five entries suggests no worsening structural or consumable-wear trend was flagged. Mileage sat at 121,992 on 21 March 2023, rose to 136,907 by 20 March 2024, and reached 140,615 by April 2025, giving an average annual use of roughly 10,800 miles that matches typical expectation for a thirteen-year-old car. The jump of nearly 15,000 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests is unremarkable for a commuter vehicle of this class. The record is sparse, showing only five tests over the final three years of the timeline provided, and the clean sheets with zero advisories on every pass mean the DVSA data alone offers little insight into ongoing wear on suspension bushes, brake discs, or corrosion. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the car despite the clean MOT trail. The repeated fails with no defects noted warrant confirmation that previous owners simply attended with incorrect paperwork rather than masking issues, and the 140,000-mile clock means coil springs, track-rod ends, and exhaust emissions components are due for close examination. Given the age, structural integrity around sills and subframes should be checked for rust that a visual test might not capture, and brake calipers ought to be tested for free movement after standing between the March and April 2025 tests.
