2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · ND13 YNU

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 31 March 2026 at 77,155 miles with no recorded defects. This indicates an improving maintenance trend following a period of mechanical concern in early 2024. The transition from multiple advisories to a clean test sheet suggests that the previous owner has proactively addressed the suspension and tyre issues identified in prior tests. At 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 77,155 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 5,935 miles. The data shows consistent usage patterns in recent years, with only roughly 3,000 miles covered between March 2025 and March 2026. While this low mileage typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it can also lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals if the vehicle has sat for long periods between journeys. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension geometry to verify the repairs previously noted in the April 2024 test at 70,025 miles. The tester flagged a misting offside rear shock absorber and deteriorated nearside front ball joint dust covers with slight play. Although the 2026 test was clean, a manual check should ensure no remaining play exists in the ball joints and that the shock absorber has not developed a significant leak. Given the 2023 failure due to a structural sidewall tear, the current condition of all tyres should be scrutinised for dry rot or cracking, which is common in low-mileage, older vehicles.
