2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FE13 CDY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on January 24, 2026, at 72,906 miles returned no defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While the record shows a failure on January 21, 2025 at 71,104 miles, the immediate pass on the re-test suggests the owner was proactive in addressing the specific fault identified that day. The mileage pattern is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,600 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2024, the car covered 1,644 miles, followed by another 1,734 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests. The interval between the January 2025 and the January 2026 test saw an accumulation of 1,802 miles. This low-frequency usage confirms the vehicle has seen light use, which typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, though it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluids. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by stationary periods rather than high mileage. Low-mileage cars often suffer from seized brake calipers or perished tyres that crack from age despite having ample depth. Given the age of the Fiesta, a thorough chassis check for corrosion on the sills and suspension mounting points is essential, as the MOT does not detect all surface rust. Verify the condition of the suspension bushes and bushings to ensure the low mileage has not masked dry rot or material fatigue.
