2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · HF13 OSO

The vehicle presents a highly stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status. The most recent MOT test on 31 March 2026 at 34,423 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent four-year streak of clean passes from March 2022 through March 2026, indicating that the vehicle has moved past previous mechanical issues and is currently being maintained to a high standard. The mileage history shows exceptionally low usage for a 2013 model, averaging approximately 2,648 miles per year. The records show a steady, incremental increase in distance, such as the 3,631-mile rise between the March 2025 and March 2026 tests. This low-mileage pattern suggests the car has spent significant time stationary or has been used only for short, infrequent trips. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, such usage patterns can sometimes lead to secondary issues like perished rubber components or seized brake calipers due to lack of regular operation. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and tyre condition. The 2021 test at 17,459 miles flagged an excessively worn offside front suspension arm ball joint, though this was rectified to achieve a pass. Earlier records from 2016, 2017, and 2018 consistently noted sidewall damage to various tyres. Although no tyre defects appear in the most recent five years of testing, the history of sidewall damage suggests a potential for rough driving or kerbing. I recommend checking the integrity of all suspension bushes, ball joints, and tyre sidewalls to ensure no new damage has occurred during periods of low usage.
