2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FE63 OFU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent history of passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 11 September 2025 at 45,117 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum legal standards for operation. This follows a period of clean passes in 2024 and 2022, suggesting that the mechanical components have remained maintained without significant recurring failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,500 miles per year. Between the September 2022 test at 32,439 miles and the September 2025 test at 45,117 miles, the car covered 12,678 miles. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the infrequent use increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components. The single failure recorded in September 2023 at 37,382 miles was followed immediately by a pass, suggesting a minor issue that was rectified promptly rather than a chronic fault. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of neglect associated with low-mileage, long-term storage. Check for perished suspension bushes, split hoses, and tyre sidewalls which can become brittle over time regardless of distance driven. Examine the braking system for surface corrosion on discs or seized calipers, which often occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. While the MOT record shows no structural failures, a close look at the sills and wheel arches is necessary to ensure hidden corrosion has developed over the vehicle's age.
