2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SG13 DFK

The vehicle currently maintains a valid MOT certificate issued on 02 February 2026 at 169,561 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. While the car failed its initial test two days prior to the pass, the absence of recorded defects suggests these failures were likely administrative or related to minor non-mechanical issues rather than systemic component failure. The history shows a consistent pattern of passing annual inspections without recorded advisories, which implies that the vehicle has been subjected to a standard level of maintenance rather than deferred neglect. This Ford Fiesta has covered 169,561 miles over its thirteen-year lifespan, averaging approximately 13,043 miles per annum. This high-mileage profile indicates regular, sustained use rather than long periods of inactivity, which often helps prevent the seized components and perished seals associated with low-usage vehicles. The mileage accumulation has remained steady, with roughly 18,000 miles added between the January 2025 and February 2026 tests, confirming the vehicle remains in active service. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on high-wear mechanical areas that the MOT test may not fully capture, specifically the condition of the clutch and the dual-mass flywheel, given the high mileage. You should check for evidence of oil leaks around the engine block and gearbox housing, as well as the operational state of the suspension bushings and ball joints, which often require replacement at this stage of a vehicle's life. While the MOT record is clean, a thorough test drive is necessary to identify any drivetrain vibrations or knocking sounds from the steering rack that might indicate the end of service life for these critical components.
