2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · SD13 VEB

The 2013 Ford Fiesta presents a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 2 May 2025 at 56,336 miles, where it passed with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable, with every annual examination from August 2023 through May 2025 clearing without advisories. Two failed entries on the same dates as passes in 2023 and 2025 show no defects logged, indicating administrative or presentation issues at the testing station rather than mechanical faults. Recorded mileage sits at 56,336 against an August 2013 build, averaging roughly 4,334 miles per year. The car covered 49,581 miles by 11 August 2023, then 52,072 by 1 May 2024, and 56,336 by 2 May 2025. That equates to about 3,500 miles in the first interval and 4,200 in the second, a steady low-use pattern with no rapid accumulation. Sparse but consistent records show no gaps exceeding nine months between tests. The absence of advisories across suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs, and corrosion in the structure points to light use and likely sheltered storage. Low annual mileage often means prolonged standing, which can degrade tyres, brake calipers, and flexible hoses without triggering MOT flags. A buyer should still confirm the condition of those consumables and check for seized handbrake mechanisms or flat-spotted tyres from inactivity. Given the clean history and minimal wear profile, the vehicle shows no recurring mechanical trend requiring corrective action. Prospective owners should commission a pre-purchase inspection focused on underbody structural integrity and brake binding, as the MOT record alone does not expose latent defects from long idle periods.
