2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · MM13 ABF

The 2013 Ford Fiesta remains roadworthy based on its most recent MOT on 2025-09-08 at 60,139 miles, which recorded no defects. The prior test on 2025-09-05, also at the same mileage, failed without recorded issues, suggesting a possible administrative error or unresolved minor fault. Subsequent tests from 2022 to 2024 show consistent passing with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The vehicle’s mechanical condition appears sound, though the unexplained failure warrants scrutiny. The mileage progression reveals an annual average of 4,626 miles, below typical usage for a 13-year-old car. From 2022 to 2025, the odometer increased by 10,476 miles over three years, with each annual increment aligning closely with the projected average. No significant gaps or rapid accumulation are evident, suggesting steady, light use. The absence of defects in all but one test implies consistent upkeep, though the 2025 failure without explanation raises questions about potential overlooked issues. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the low mileage’s potential to mask wear from inactivity. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, as low usage can lead to seized parts. The exhaust system and structural integrity also warrant attention, as minor faults in these areas might not trigger MOT failures but could affect long-term reliability. The vehicle’s clean MOT history overall suggests responsible ownership, but the recent unexplained failure necessitates a pre-purchase mechanical survey.
