2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · LM63 OWR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of recurring mechanical issues that remain unaddressed. While it passed the most recent test in November 2025 at 53,760 miles, it carries ongoing advisories for exhaust flexi leaks and worn rear axle artwork bushes. These faults have been noted across the last three inspections, suggesting that while the car remains legal, the underlying components are not being replaced. At 13 years old, the car has a notably low mileage of 53,760 miles, averaging approximately 4,135 miles per year. This low usage often explains the premature degradation of rubber-based components, such as bushes and tyres, seen in the history. The data shows consistent annual testing, with roughly 7,000 miles covered between 2023 and 2024, indicating the vehicle is used but subject to age-related wear rather than high-intensity mileage. A buyer should conduct a close inspection of the exhaust system, as the flexipipe leak has been a documented fault since at least November 2023. The rear consistent swivel bushes are a critical area; they have been flagged as worn in multiple consecutive tests, which can lead to handling instability and noise if not rectified. Furthermore, given the previous failures for brake cylinder leaks and worn front discs, the entire braking system should be checked for residual leaks or uneven wear to ensure the repairs made in 2024 were comprehensive.
