Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recent struc
Your priority should be a thorough physical inspection of the driver's side doors. The 2026 MOT record explicitly mentions accident damage to the front and rear doors; you must verify if this was merely cosmetic or if there is underlying structural damage to the B-pillar or door frames. Ensure the doors align correctly and that there are no signs of non-factory welding or poor repair work.
Beyond the bodywork, check the service history to see how the low mileage has been supported by regular oil changes. Given the 2022 and 2023 MOTs flagged exhaust leaks and wiper defects, check that these specific items have been addressed and aren't recurring issues. Ask the seller for documentation regarding the repair of the door damage mentioned in the August 2026 test.
The 998cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, likely placing this vehicle in a low insurance group and a favourable tax band. Fuel economy should be competitive for a small hatchback of this era.
Maintenance costs for a Fiesta are typically moderate, though you should budget for common wear items like brake pads, which were noted as thin in the 2023 MOT. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, is expected to be relatively low due to the small engine size.
First, inspect the driver's side doors mentioned in the 2026 MOT record. Look for uneven gaps between the door and the wing, or inconsistencies in the silver paintwork that might suggest a recent repair. Check that the door seals are intact and that there is no water ingress.
Secondly, examine the exhaust system. The 2022 MOT recorded a minor exhaust leak; ensure this has been fully rectified and that there is no excessive noise or vibration from the engine. Finally, check the windscreen wipers and blades, as these were flagged as defective in both 2022 and 2023, and ensure the front windscreen is free of cracks or chips.
This 2013 silver Ford Fiesta 1.0L petrol has covered 33,815 miles, which is significantly lower than the model average. The MOT history shows a relatively clean record between 2022 and 2025, though the most recent 2026 test includes a note regarding accident damage to the driver's front and rear doors. While the low mileage is a positive, the recent damage note is a primary concern for any prospective buyer.
The Ford Fiesta is a high-volume model with a 77.7% average MOT pass rate across the fleet, with common failures often relating to headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
