2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · NG13 AEP

The vehicle's current roadworthiness status appears stable following a successful MOT on 15 July 2025 at 103,256 miles. While the record shows two failures on that same date, the subsequent pass indicates that the identified defects were rectified prior to retesting. The maintenance trend remains consistent with a vehicle that has undergone regular inspections over the last three years without significant recurring advisories. The mileage accumulation is consistent with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 14,934 miles between the July 2023 test at 76,424 miles and the July 2024 test at 88,322 miles. The most recent interval between July 2024 and July 2025 saw an increase of 14,934 miles, maintaining a steady average of roughly 15,000 miles per year. This steady usage pattern suggests the vehicle has not been subject to extreme long-term standing or excessive high-speed motorway transit. Because the most recent MOT failed twice before passing, a physical inspection should focus on the specific components that caused those failures. You should verify that the repairs were comprehensive and not merely superficial fixes. Check the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for signs of uneven wear or corrosion. Given the age and mileage, scrutinise the underside for structural rust and check the exhaust system for integrity. The lack of recorded advisories in the 2023 and 2024 tests suggests a history of basic upkeep. However, the sudden failures in July 2025 indicate that certain components reached their wear limits simultaneously. A thorough check of the tyre tread depth, wiper blades, and brake pad thickness is advised to ensure the vehicle meets the standard expected for a car of this age and mileage.
