2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · FG63 CVB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, passing its most recent MOT in December 2025 with 70,117 miles. The maintenance trend shows an improving trajectory following a significant failure in late 2024. While the 2024 test revealed multiple defects related to the suspension, engine mounts, and lighting, the subsequent clean pass in 2025 indicates that the previous owner addressed the primary mechanical failures and the non-functional nearside stop lamp. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 70,117 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,400 miles. The usage pattern appears consistent over the last years, with roughly 2,800 miles covered between December 2023 and 2024, and another 2,500 miles between late 2024 and 2025. This low-intensity use often masks age-related degradation of rubber components and corrosion rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A physical inspection should focus specifically on the suspension and engine mounts, as these areas have shown recurring issues. The 2022 test flagged corroded rear coil springs and play in the nearside front ball joint, while the 2024 test noted perishing axle swivel pins and a damaged engine mounting. A buyer must verify that the engine mounts are not causing vibration and check the axle bushes for any signs of further cracking or tearing. Additionally, given the pitted front brake discs noted in 2022, the current braking surface should be checked for excessive thinning or uneven wear which is common on low-mileage vehicles that sit for extended periods.
