2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FE13 AEK

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 19 December 2025 at 44,725 miles, confirming its roadworthiness. The maintenance history is exceptionally clean, showing no recorded defects or advisories across the last three years of testing. While the vehicle failed its initial inspections on 24 May 2024 and 18 December 2025, these were administrative or immediate re-test outcomes rather than mechanical failures, indicating a stable and well-maintained condition throughout its recent lifecycle. At thirteen years old with an odometer reading of 44,725 miles, the car averages approximately 3,440 miles per annum. This low-mileage profile suggests the vehicle has seen light usage, though the consistent annual testing intervals between May 2023 and December 2025 confirm it has not spent prolonged periods off the road. The steady accumulation of roughly 2,000 to 5,000 miles between tests points to a vehicle used for short, regular journeys rather than long-distance commuting. Prospective buyers should note that low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age-related degradation of rubber components, such as suspension bushes, engine mounts, and coolant hoses, which may not appear on an MOT certificate. Given the lack of formal advisories, the primary focus during a physical inspection should be on the condition of the brake discs for surface corrosion caused by infrequent use and the integrity of the exhaust system. Check the tyre sidewalls for cracking or perishing, as these are common issues on cars that sit stationary for extended periods, even if the tread depth remains within legal limits.
