2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · KV63 UOD

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift from clean records to early-stage degradation. The most recent test in September 2025 at 25,795 miles flagged corroded corrosion on both the nearside and offside front suspension arms. While these components were noted as not yet seriously weakened, the appearance of surface or structural rust after years of defect-free results indicates the beginning of age-related wear despite the low usage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,000 miles per year. Data shows a consistent, low-usage pattern, with only 378 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and 605 miles prior prior. While this low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to the drying of rubber seals and the oxidation of metal surfaces due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front suspension geometry to address the 2025 advisory. Although the suspension arms were not deemed structurally unsound at the time, corrosion on load-bearing components can accelerate rapidly if left untreated. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also check the brake calipers for seizing and pitted discs, as infrequently used brakes often allow surfaces to rust and pistons to fail to retract properly.
