2013 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · LS13 BYC

This vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 3 March 2026 at 22,266 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of passing without mechanical failure, suggesting the car has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring faults. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2013 model, averaging roughly 1,713 miles per year. A significant period of inactivity occurred between 11 August 2022 and 11 March 2024, where the odometer moved only 8 miles. More recent usage has increased, with 6,238 miles added between March 2024 and March 2025, and a further 6,218 miles added by March 2026. This shift from long-term standing to regular use is a critical factor in the vehicle's current mechanical state. Low mileage and periods of dormancy often lead to specific degradation that MOT tests may not immediately flag. A buyer should personally inspect the tyres for flat spots or age-related cracking, as rubber perishes regardless of tread depth. The braking system requires a thorough check for binding calipers or pitted brake discs, which often occur when a car sits idle for years. Check the engine oil and coolant for signs of contamination or degradation due to infrequent changes. While the MOT history is clean, the lack of recorded advisories over several years suggests a vehicle that has seen very little stress, but the transition to higher annual mileage means consumables like the battery and suspension bushes should be verified for elasticity and health.
