2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SC62 BDY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing suspension-related wear. The most recent test conducted in October 2025 at 81,914 miles identified slight wear on both nearside and offside rear axle swivel pins and bushes. This represents a progression from the clean record in 2024, suggesting that rubber components are beginning to reach the end of their functional life due to age. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 6,300 miles per annum. Between the 2022 test at 69,203 miles and the 2025 test at 81,914 miles, the car covered 12,711 miles. This steady usage rate suggests the vehicle has not suffered from long periods of stationary storage, which often leads to fluid-related issues or the degradation of seals and rubber components despite the relatively low odometer reading. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension geometry and tyre alignment. The advisories from 2022 and 2023 regarding tyres worn to the legal limit and specifically on the edges indicate potential alignment issues or worn suspension components. Given that the 2025 test specifically flagged the axle swivel bushes, a professional inspection should check for excessive play in the rear arms to ensure that the wear does not cause premature scrubbing of new tyres or compromise handling stability.
