2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MD03 CON

The most recent MOT history for this 2013 Ford Fiesta demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, though the October 2025 test presents an unusual anomaly. The vehicle passed without fail in November 2024, November 2023, and December 2022, each time recording zero defects. However, the October 2025 test—just three months prior to the current date—shows a duplicate entry: one marked as passed and another as failed, both at exactly 83,168 miles. This inconsistency suggests either a data error or a brief, unresolved issue that was not fully addressed before the next test cycle. No advisories or recurring faults appear in the clean history, indicating no systematic neglect of critical components like suspension, brakes, or exhaust emissions. The recorded mileage of 83,168 miles over 13 years reflects an average annual distance of approximately 6,400 miles, which is typical for a vehicle of this age. There are no significant gaps in testing—each MOT was conducted within the standard 12-month window, with the most recent test occurring just 9 months ago. The progression from 60,226 miles in December 2022 to 83,168 miles in October 2025 shows steady mileage accumulation without abrupt spikes or prolonged periods of inactivity, which would otherwise raise concerns about long-term storage or deferred maintenance. Given the otherwise pristine MOT record, a buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of high-wear components that are not directly tested during the MOT but are critical to long-term reliability. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—as these are common points of failure in this model, especially after 13 years. Check for uneven tyre wear, which could indicate alignment issues or worn suspension components. The brakes should be examined for excessive pad or disc wear, though the lack of advisories suggests they have been maintained. Structural integrity is also worth assessing, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, where corrosion can compromise safety without always being detected in an MOT. The duplicate October 2025 entry, if verified as genuine, may warrant clarification on whether minor issues—such as binding calipers or minor exhaust leaks—were overlooked or repaired informally.
