2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · RE13 VRO

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 3 December 2024 at 40,204 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend suggests the car has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation that typically affects vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old Ford, averaging approximately 3,100 miles per annum. Between March 2022 and March 2023, the vehicle covered 3,577 miles, while the interval between March 2023 and December 2024 saw an additional 8,759 miles. This pattern indicates short-distance urban use or long periods of storage. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it introduces specific risks related to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown. Despite the clean record, a physical inspection must focus on components susceptible to perish over time rather than mileage. A buyer should check for sidewall cracking on tyres, perished wiper blades, and perished suspension bushes, as these elements fail on low-mileage cars regardless of distance traveled. The braking system should be inspected for seized calipers or binding brakes, which often occur when a vehicle sits for extended periods. The structural integrity of the chassis should also be verified for surface corrosion, though the MOT history has not flagged any issues to date.
