2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · KJ04 MOS

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection in September 2025 at 145,254 miles without any recorded defects. While the history shows immediate failures prior to these passes, the subsequent clean sheets suggest the owner is proactive in addressing identified faults during the testing process. The lack of advisories on the latest two tests indicates that the mechanical and safety components currently meet minimum legal standards despite the high mileage. The mileage pattern is consistent with typical usage for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 11,000 miles per year. The record shows steady accumulation, with 9,501 miles covered between the September 2023 and August 2024 tests, and another 10,369 miles between August 2024 and September 2025. This regular usage suggests the car has not sat for long periods, which is generally beneficial for engine seals, suspension, and brake components that can suffer from corrosion or seizing when stationary. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on high-mileage wear items that often pass without immediate MOT advisories. Given the 145,000-mile mark, close scrutiny of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and shock absorbers is necessary as these components typically degrade at this interval. The buyer should also check for structural corrosion on the sills and rear mounting points, as these are common failure points for the Ford Fiesta of this era. Inspecting the brake discs for thinning and checking for binding calipers will confirm if the clean MOT record reflects genuine mechanical health or merely a temporary state of compliance.
