2013 Ford Fiesta Zetec Auto 1.6L Petrol · FHZ 5525

The 2013 Ford Fiesta Zetec Auto presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 18 January 2025 at 68,067 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the three preceding passed tests likewise carried no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring mechanical issues, or structural concerns across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 68,067 against an approximate 13-year age, equating to roughly 5,236 miles per year and marking the car as low-use for its cohort. The gap between the 17 September 2023 test at 64,586 miles and the 18 January 2025 test at 68,067 miles shows only 3,481 miles added in over fifteen months. Earlier, the 14 October 2022 pass at 64,525 miles followed a 1 October 2022 failure at 64,486 miles where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative or presentation-based rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the vehicle's age and the likelihood of prolonged standing between the 2023 and 2025 tests. Low annual mileage combined with the 2022 to 2023 stagnation around 64,500 miles suggests the Fiesta may have spent extended periods idle, raising the risk of perished rubber components and superficial corrosion on structural members despite the clean MOT outcomes. Verify the 1 October 2022 failure reason through DVSA documentation, as the absence of recorded defects leaves the cause unconfirmed. Otherwise, the history implies a lightly used car with consistent test compliance and no flagged wear on tyres, exhaust emissions, or binding calipers to date.
