2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · KS63 ACJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass in the November 2025 test at 46,659 miles. This most recent result indicates that previous mechanical and electrical issues have been addressed. The maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repairs between 2019 and 2024, where the vehicle frequently failed on consumable items and suspension components, but the lack of defects in the latest inspection suggests a move toward consistent upkeep. The mileage pattern confirms this is a low-use vehicle, averaging approximately 3,589 miles per year over its thirteen-year lifespan. The data shows steady, incremental growth, moving from 18,682 miles in 2016 to the current 46,659 miles. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain, the record suggests the car may spend significant time stationary, evidenced by recurring advisories regarding perishing tyres and corroded coil springs. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension assembly. The MOT history shows a persistent issue with corroded rear coil springs dating back to at least 2019, with failures specifically noted in the November 2024 test at 42,929 miles. Although the 2025 test recorded no defects, the long-term presence of corrosion in this area warrants a close check for any signs of structural rust or further degradation on the spring seats and surrounding mounting points. The history also highlights a pattern of neglected minor consumables, such as windscreen wipers, headlamp aim, and tyre tread depth. While these are generally easily rectified, they indicate a tendency for the previous owners to defer basic maintenance until an MOT failure occurs. Inspect the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and check the integrity of the braking components, as the 2019 record flagged thinning pads and worn discs.
