2013 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · FL13 LGO

The vehicle's current MOT status reflects a maintenance trend that is stable but exhibits significant wear on critical structural components, necessitating immediate physical inspection. The most recent test on 2026-01-06 was passed at 122,565 miles, indicating the vehicle meets current safety requirements. However, the history reveals a distinct deterioration in suspension and braking integrity, particularly in the rear and offside suspension, where multiple failures have occurred. The mileage pattern suggests rapid accumulation of wear, which is consistent with a vehicle aged 2013 with 122,565 miles. This high mileage rate correlates with the extensive corrosion observed on suspension mounts and structural steel, indicating that the vehicle has likely been driven for a substantial period. While the recent test passed, the accumulated damage suggests that the vehicle's mechanical integrity has deteriorated over the last decade, moving from a "near" to a "failed" state despite the initial passing. A buyer must inspect the vehicle in person to verify the presence of structural rust, particularly on suspension bushes, coil springs, and wheel arches, as well as the condition of the brake discs and rotors. The recurring faults, including excessive play in ball joints, swivel pin wear, and corrosion of suspension mounting areas, indicate that the vehicle has not undergone adequate preventative maintenance. A simple visual check is required to determine if these issues are merely consumable wear or represent serious structural risks that compromise the vehicle's safety.
