2013 Ford Fiesta 1.4L Diesel · FJ13 VKA

The 2013 Ford Fiesta passed its most recent MOT on 17 October 2025 at 170,896 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the supplied history is stable with no recurring mechanical faults or advisories. The DVSA entries show clean passes in September 2023 at 146,638 miles, September 2024 at 157,903 miles, and October 2025 at 170,896 miles, though the 2024 and 2025 tests each list a same-day fail with no defects logged, indicating administrative rejections rather than roadworthiness concerns. The recorded mileage of 170,896 over roughly thirteen years equates to about 13,146 miles per year, which is high for a supermini of this age and points to sustained commuter or delivery use rather than occasional leisure driving. Accumulation was steady rather than erratic: 11,265 miles fell between the September 2023 and September 2024 tests, then 12,993 miles to the October 2025 test. No standing periods or abrupt gaps appear in the record. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglected consumables, but high annual use inherently loads suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and drivetrain seals beyond typical low-mileage examples. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the front and rear suspension arms, track-rod ends, and subframe for corrosion or worn rubber mounts, as the MOT schedule does not record advisories that might have been verbally noted. The tester logged no brake binding, exhaust emissions failures, or structural integrity issues across the three years, yet at 170,896 miles the original clutch, dampers, and wheel bearings warrant hands-on checks for wear tolerance. Given the same-day fail entries carried no defects, previous owners appear to have presented the car for timely annual testing without outstanding roadworthiness faults. The high but consistent mileage suggests disciplined scheduling rather than deferred maintenance, though pre-purchase scrutiny of tyre tread depth and wiper condition remains sensible on a vehicle of this age and use.
