2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SF63 WXH

The 2025‑09‑16 MOT at 74,746 miles recorded a pass with no defects, indicating that the Fiesta is presently roadworthy. The consecutive annual tests from 2020 to 2025 show a stable maintenance record, with no recurring failures noted after the 2018 remedial work. The mileage has risen by roughly 5,000 miles each year, from 36,239 miles in August 2018 to 74,746 miles in September 2025, a steady increase that aligns with the vehicle’s 13‑year age and suggests regular, moderate use rather than long periods of inactivity. A buyer should therefore examine the rear suspension components – the track‑rod end ball joints, rear shock absorbers and bushes – for play, oil misting or worn gaiters, and verify that the rear brakes show no binding on the calipers or excessive wear on the discs. Inspection of the tyre tread and side‑wall condition is essential, given the repeated perishing reports in 2018, and a visual check for structural rust around the shock mounts and chassis rails is advisable. While the recent MOT history demonstrates consistent upkeep and no immediate mechanical concerns, the earlier suspension and tyre advisories imply that previous owners addressed those issues but may have allowed other wear items, such as brake pads or suspension bushes, to approach the limit; a thorough in‑person assessment of those components will confirm whether the vehicle remains fit for continued use.
