2013 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · EO13 WCK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test in March 2026 at 172,249 miles saw the car fail initially due to an inoperative hazard switch, a noisy wheel bearing, and two tyre defects. While the vehicle passed the re-test, the recurring nature of these faults suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical issues once they result in a formal MOT failure. At 172,249 miles, this 13-year-old Fiesta has covered a high average of approximately 13,250 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 1,100 miles recorded between March 2024 and March 2025, and another 1,219 miles between March 2025 and March 2026. This high mileage puts significant strain on the drivetrain, suspension components, and braking system, which is consistent with the wear and tear noted in the record. A buyer should specifically inspect the offside front wheel bearing, as it was flagged as noisy in the latest test and may require imminent replacement. The history also shows a pattern of neglecting consumables, evidenced by thin brake pads noted in 2025 and multiple tyre damage issues in 2026. Given the high mileage, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and coil springs for perished rubber is essential, as these components often reach the end of their functional life at this interval.
