2013 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · LP13 KSE

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a clean pass on 16 July 2025 at 75,823 miles. While the car failed the initial test on that same day due to non-functional rear stop lamps, the immediate rectification indicates a proactive owner. The maintenance trend suggests that the vehicle responds well to regulatory requirements, as no new mechanical defects or emissions-related failures have appeared in the most recent inspection cycle. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 75,823 miles is significantly below average, averaging approximately 5,833 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns, with roughly 8,000 miles covered between the 2024 and 2025 tests, and similar 9,000 miles prior. This low-intensity usage suggests the vehicle was likely used for short trips or kept stationary, which can sometimes lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and brake surface corrosion despite the low mechanical wear. A physical inspection should focus on the front braking system, as records from July 2022 and July 2023 highlighted thinning front brake pads and pitted or scored discs. Although these were noted as not seriously weakened at the time, the recurring nature of these advisories suggests the components are nearing their service life. The buyer should also check the offside front tyre for alignment issues, as the 2024 test flagged uneven wear on the edge. Given the vehicle's age and low mileage, a thorough check of chassis corrosion and suspension bushes is advisable to ensure that long periods of standing have not compromised the structural integrity.
