2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · LS13 BXP

The 2013 Ford Fiesta presents a clean roadworthiness profile as of the most recent test on 12 September 2025 at 71,131 miles, where the DVSA tester passed the vehicle with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend across the five available annual tests is stable, showing no advisories or failures from 2021 through 2025. Each examination returned a pass with zero flagged issues, indicating consistent statutory compliance. Mileage accumulation sits well below typical averages for a thirteen-year-old car. The record shows 39,955 miles at the 28 August 2021 test, rising to 53,961 by 3 September 2022, then 59,412 on 8 September 2023, 67,932 on 31 August 2024, and 71,131 on 12 September 2025. That equates to roughly 5,472 miles per year overall, with the largest single-year jump of about 14,000 miles between 2021 and 2022, followed by progressively smaller annual increments. The sparse but unbroken history suggests the previous owner kept the car lightly used, likely with periods of limited operation, and adhered to timely MOT scheduling without lapse. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear in the official record, so the buyer faces no documented red flags regarding suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions. A clean test sheet across these annual tests does imply disciplined basic upkeep, though it does not certify component condition beyond the test day. Given the low mileage and probable standing intervals, the buyer should still inspect in person for perished rubber components, such as suspension bushes and tyres aged by time rather than wear, plus check brake calipers for binding after prolonged inactivity. Structural integrity remains untested by any advisory for rust, yet a thirteen-year-old hatchback warrants a visual check of sills, subframes, and suspension mounts for hidden corrosion. The absence of recorded defects means the Fiesta enters the used market with a favourable verifiable history, but a pre-purchase inspection remains prudent to confirm the MOT snapshot reflects true mechanical health.
