2013 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Diesel · FY63 OXZ

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state following its most recent pass on 15 February 2025 at 90,590 miles. The maintenance trend is stable, though the record shows a pattern of neglecting basic consumables until the point of the annual inspection. The most recent test required the rectification of a non-functional offside rear stop lamp before the certificate was issued. The mileage is consistent with the age of the car, averaging roughly 6,968 miles per year. Between the March 2023 test at 83,333 miles and the February 2025 test at 90,590 miles, the car covered 7,257 miles over two years. This low annual usage suggests the vehicle may spend significant periods stationary, which can sometimes lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components or battery health. A recurring issue with the offside front tyre is evident. The tester flagged inner edge wear at both the March 2023 and February 2024 tests, with the latter showing the tyre worn to 0mm. This specific wear pattern strongly indicates a tracking or alignment fault, likely involving worn suspension bushes or a bent tie rod. The February 2024 failure also noted a distorted nearside rear road wheel, suggesting a possible hard impact with a kerb or pothole. A buyer should specifically inspect the front-end alignment and the condition of the nearside rear wheel to ensure no lingering vibrations or uneven tyre wear. The damaged windscreen noted in the February 2025 test remains an advisory; while it did not fail the test, it should be checked for cracks that could propagate. Given the history of failing on simple items like washer pumps and light bulbs, a thorough check of all electrical ancillaries is recommended.
