Our Verdict
Exercise caution before purchasing this
Given the high number of failures and advisories in the recent MOT history, any potential buyer should negotiate the price downwards to account for the necessary repairs. Ensure that the faults identified in the August 2026 failure—specifically the steering rack inner joints, axle swivel pins, and corroded coil springs—have been professionally rectified with evidence of parts and labour.
Request a detailed service history to see if the recurring brake disc and pad issues have been addressed through regular maintenance. Because the vehicle has shown consistent issues with tyres perishing and brakes wearing, check the current condition of all four tyres and the thickness of the brake pads before committing to a purchase.
The 1596cc petrol engine is typical for this era of Fiesta, offering a balance of performance and economy, though running costs will be influenced by the vehicle's age. Tax and insurance groups for a 2013 Fiesta are generally moderate, making it a common choice for UK drivers.
However, maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the frequency of suspension and braking component replacements noted in the MOT records. Expect to budget for more frequent visits to the garage for wear-and-tear items like bushes, ball joints, and brake components.
A thorough inspection of the underside is critical, as the August 2026 MOT recorded corrosion on the underside and corroded rear coil springs. You should specifically check the condition of the rear axle swivel pins and bushes, as these have appeared as issues in both 2024 and 2026.
Inspect the steering system closely; the records show repeated issues with steering rack inner joints and track rod ends. Finally, verify the condition of the braking system, as worn and pitted discs have been a consistent advisory or failure point since at least 2023.
This 2013 red Ford Fiesta 1.6L petrol has covered 76,873 miles, which is higher than the model average of 5,770 miles per year. The MOT history shows a pattern of recurring advisories and failures, particularly concerning brake discs, tyres, and suspension components. The vehicle failed its most recent test with multiple defects across several systems, including steering and underside corrosion.
Aggregate data for this model shows a 77.7% MOT pass rate, with common failures including headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
