2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · ND63 KRX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive pattern of repair rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed its most recent test in April 2026 at 96,274 miles, this followed a failure just three days prior at 96,240 miles. That failure identified a front track rod end with excessive play, a serious fluid leak on the offside front shock absorber, and a dangerously worn tyre. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they reach the point of failing an MOT test, as evidenced by the recurring failures across multiple consecutive years. The mileage progression is consistent with a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,400 miles per year. Between April 2024 and April 2025, the car covered 12,816 miles, while it added another 12,607 miles in the year leading up to the April 2026 test. This rate of use is regular, which explains the steady wear on rubber-bound components and braking hardware. There are no significant gaps in the mileage that would suggest the car has sat stationary for long periods. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and steering geometry. The record shows a history of worn ball joints, anti-roll bar links, and suspension arm bushes, indicating that the entire front assembly is nearing the end of its life. The 2024 advisory regarding corrosion on the front sub-frame requires a close look to ensure the rust has not progressed into structural thinning since the last inspection. Additionally, the frequent mentions of uneven tyre wear and exposed cords suggest potential alignment issues or worn steering components, which will continue to accelerate premature tyre replacement if not corrected.
