2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · OU13 AET

The vehicle presents a clean and stable maintenance record, as evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 19 February 2026 at 79,250 miles. The lack of any recorded defects or advisories across the last three consecutive annual inspections indicates a high standard of preventative maintenance and consistent upkeep by the previous keeper. This trend suggests the vehicle has been kept in a reliable mechanical state, with no recurring faults or unresolved structural issues currently impacting its roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 79,250 over thirteen years averages to approximately 6,096 miles per annum, which aligns with typical usage patterns for a Ford Fiesta of this vintage. The progression of mileage is steady and linear, showing no evidence of long-term storage or periods of inactivity that might otherwise lead to seized components or perished rubber seals. The brief failure on 1 March 2024 appears to be an administrative anomaly, as the vehicle passed the subsequent test only three days later on 4 March 2024 without any recorded defects, implying no actual mechanical failure occurred. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on common Fiesta wear items that may not always trigger an MOT failure until they reach an advanced state of degradation. Inspect the front suspension wishbone bushes and the condition of the coil springs for signs of fatigue or corrosion, as these are frequent points of wear on this chassis. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion and ensure the handbrake mechanism operates effectively, as these components often see less use in lower-mileage vehicles. While the MOT history is exemplary, a visual check of the underside for any early signs of structural corrosion remains prudent given the vehicle's age.
