2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · FN13 WDM

The 2013 Ford Fiesta presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 August 2025 at 41,364 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests also passed cleanly. The only anomaly sits in a failed entry on 12 November 2024 at 40,213 miles that carries no recorded defects, immediately followed by a pass on the same date at identical mileage; this points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Recorded mileage stays low for a thirteen-year-old car. The odometer read 35,925 miles in October 2022, rose to 37,551 by October 2023, then to 40,213 in November 2024, and 41,364 by August 2025. That equates to roughly 3,182 miles per year, with no gaps or sudden accumulation. The clean advisory history across all five tests suggests the previous keeper used the car lightly and kept it stored or serviced outside the MOT scope; no worn tyres, corroded structures, or failing suspension bushes ever reached the tester's notes. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection beneath the sills and subframes, since MOT passes with zero advisories do not rule out early surface corrosion on a Ford of this era. The brake discs, calipers, and handbrake mechanism deserve a functional check despite no binding or imbalance being logged. Low annual use often lets moisture sit in wheel cylinders and exhaust joints through standing periods. Given the sparse and clean record, the principal risk is hidden age-related degradation rather than recorded neglect. Verify the 2024 duplicate test was clerical, confirm service invoices, and probe suspension arms for perished bushes before purchase.
