2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · MW13 CVO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a reactive pattern of repair rather than proactive care. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 70,322 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior that identified multiple mechanical defects. The trend shows a worsening state of suspension components which are only addressed once they reach a safety failure threshold. The presence of a fractured nearside front coil spring and an excessively worn ball joint indicates that the suspension system was neglected until the point of failure. With a recorded mileage of 70,322 miles over 13 years, the Fiesta averages approximately 5,400 miles per year. This low usage profile suggests the car has spent significant time stationary, which often explains the accelerated degradation of rubber and metal components. Between May 2024 and April 2026, the vehicle covered 12,383 miles, yet it suffered multiple structural-related failures in the springs. The low mileage confirms that the wear seen on the vehicle is due to age-related corrosion rather than high-mileage stress. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the entire suspension and braking system. The record shows a persistent issue with rear coil spring corrosion that has been flagged in 2024, 2025, and 2026, indicating the remaining springs are likely near the end of their life. The front brake discs were noted as lipped in April 2026, suggesting they are nearing replacement soon. Additionally, the exhaust back box is showing signs of surface corrosion that will eventually require to a leak. Pay close attention to the nearside front bodywork and wing mirror mentioned in the April 2026 failure to ensure the sharp edges were properly rectified and no longer pose an injury risk.
