2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · GF13 VDL

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a stable trend of deferring minor mechanical repairs. The most recent test in June 2025 at 67,735 miles passed with recurring advisories for pitting on front brake discs and oil weeping from the offside rear shock absorber. These specific issues have persisted across the last four years of MOT records, indicating that the owner opts to replace components until they fail inspection rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is notably low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 5,200 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, moving from 52,103 miles in 2021 to 67,735 miles in 2025. While this low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, the infrequent use often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber-based components and corrosion on metal surfaces, which aligns with the persistent suspension and brake issues noted in the record. A buyer should conduct a close-range inspection of the offside rear shock absorber, as the light misting reported in 2021 has likely progressed toward a full seal failure. The front brake discs also show signs of surface corrosion and pitting, which suggests the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between drives. Furthermore, the history of uneven tyre wear on the front axle in 2023 suggests a potential alignment issue or worn suspension bushes that should be verified to avoid premature replacement of any new tyres.
