2013 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · EU63 HYV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean history following necessary reactive repairs. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2023 at 106,103 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that previous mechanical issues were addressed. However, as three years have passed since the last recorded MOT, the vehicle is currently overdue for a fresh test to ensure no new degradation has occurred during this period of inactivity. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,100 miles per annum. The record shows a significant gap of 12,501 miles between May 2021 and June 2022, followed by a 9,914-mile interval between June 2022 and June 2023. This steady usage suggests regular road miles rather than long periods of stationary storage, which generally benefits the health of rubber components and braking systems by preventing seizing or flat rot-related corrosion. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system given the history of faults. The failure in May 2021 at 83,685 miles due to an excessively worn offside front ball joint indicates that the steering geometry components are susceptible to wear under load. Additionally, the advisory for thin front brake pads in June 2022 at 96,189 miles suggests that the braking system reaches service limits at predictable intervals. A thorough check for play in the ball joints and the thickness of the brake discs is essential to ensure the previous maintenance trend has been upheld since the last test.
