2013 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · EY63 XEX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on March 6 2026 at 79,809 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car consistently achieves clean passes following brief testing setbacks. The failure in early March 2026 at 79,717 miles was rectified within three days to secure the subsequent pass, suggesting a minor defect such as a blown bulb or sensor issue was addressed immediately rather than a deep-seated mechanical failure. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,140 miles per year. Between March 2024 and March 2025, the car covered 6,073 miles, while it covered 7,697 miles in the year leading up to the 2026 test. This steady usage suggests regular road miles, which often benefits the health of rubber components and seals compared to vehicles that sit stationary for long periods. The lack of recorded advisories across multiple years indicates that the previous owners have been proactive in addressing minor defects. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking components, as these are the first areas to show wear on a Fiesta of this age. Despite the clean records, the buyer should check for signs of perished rubber on the suspension bushes and the integrity of the control arm bolts. Given the age of the vehicle, inspecting the brake discs for surface corrosion or thinning material is also prudent, as the MOT does not measure pad thickness unless they are below the legal limit.
