2013 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · EO13 YKX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the recent MOT history indicates a minor trend of electrical neglect. The most recent test on 18 March 2026 at 69,449 miles initially failed due to multiple lighting defects, including the dipped beam headlamp, position lamp, stop lamp, and fog lamp. While the vehicle passed upon immediate retest that same day, the density of simultaneous bulb failures suggests a lack of pre-test inspection by the previous owner regarding basic electrical consumables. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 69,449 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,342 miles. The data shows consistent usage over the last three years, with 2,556 miles driven between March 2024 and 2025, and another 2,627 miles between March 2025 and the latest test. This low mileage typically implies less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it increases the risk of rubber component degradation and brake corrosion due to longer periods of relative inactivity. A buyer should pay close attention to the rear suspension, as the March 2025 test at 66,822 miles flagged corroded rear coil springs on both sides. While these were not noted as failures at then, corrosion on springs often progresses to snapping and requires a physical inspection to ensure the metal has not reached a point of structural fatigue. The recurring issue with the rear fog lamp lens across 2023, 2025, and 2026 indicates a pattern of ignoring minor cosmetic lamp damage until it necessitates a test failure.
