2013 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · FN13 PTO

The Ford Fiesta presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the 25 March 2025 test at 126,402 miles, where the DVSA recorded a pass with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable across the available history, with every annual examination from 31 March 2022 through to the latest test returning a pass and no advisories logged. A failed entry sits against the same date and mileage as the final pass, but the record shows no defects attributed to that failure, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Annual mileage averages close to 9,700 miles, which is typical for a 2013 hatchback. The car covered 83,884 miles at the 31 March 2022 test, rose to 95,523 miles by 29 March 2023, then jumped to 120,219 miles at the 1 April 2024 examination, a 24,696-mile surge in twelve months. The last recorded figure of 126,402 miles on 26 March 2025 shows the yearly distance fell back to roughly 6,200 miles, suggesting the prior year was an outlier of heavy use rather than a sustained pattern. The absence of any advisories on suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across five consecutive tests implies the previous keeper addressed wear before each examination or the car avoided significant deterioration. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of structural integrity and underbody rust, as MOT passes with zero advisories do not confirm absence of early-stage corrosion on a 13-year-old vehicle. Given the same-day fail and pass at 126,402 miles, the buyer should verify the V5C and DVSA portal to confirm the failure carried no raised defects and required no rectification. Pre-purchase checks on binding calipers, tyre tread depth, and wiper condition remain sensible despite the clean record, as these consumables fall outside the scope of a fault-free MOT.
