2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · KV63 UOR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history indicates a worsening trend regarding engine management systems. While it passed its most recent test in January 2026 at 95,881 miles, it had failed earlier that same day due to an inoperative Malfunction Indicator Lamp. This failure suggests an electrical fault or a sensor malfunction that was not addressed prior to the pass, potentially masking deeper engine issues that the vehicle's diagnostic system is attempting to report. The mileage pattern remains consistent with typical usage for a thirteen-year-old Ford Fiesta, averaging approximately 7,375 miles per annum. Between January 2024 and January 2025, the car covered 3,458 miles, followed by another 6,276 miles the following year. This steady accumulation suggests the vehicle is used regularly rather than left sitting, which generally helps prevent the age-related degradation of rubber components and seals from drying out, despite the relatively low total mileage. A buyer must investigate the engine's internal health given the blue smoke emission recorded during the January 2024 test at 85,607 miles. This fault typically indicates oil consumption, potentially from worn piston rings, valve stem seals, or turbocharger wear. Although the car passed subsequent tests, the combination of blue smoke and the recent MIL failure necessitates a thorough diagnostic scan and compression test to ensure the engine management system is functioning correctly and that no active fault codes remain stored in the engine control unit.
