2013 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Diesel · SH13 ACU

This 2013 Ford Fiesta presents a remarkably clean MOT record, with the most recent test in May 2025 at 98,302 miles showing no defects or advisories. The maintenance trend is stable and positive: every annual test since 2022 has passed without any flagged issues. The only anomaly is a same-day failure in June 2023 at 82,626 miles, which recorded no defects—likely a data entry or administrative error rather than a genuine mechanical fault, as the vehicle passed immediately afterwards. The mileage accumulation of roughly 7,562 miles per year is typical for a 13-year-old car, indicating consistent, moderate use without long periods of standing or excessive wear. The gaps between tests are regular, with no sudden jumps in mileage that would suggest heavy commercial use or odometer tampering. The pattern implies a conscientious owner who addressed any minor issues promptly. Given the absence of any recorded faults or advisories across five consecutive tests, the car’s structural integrity, braking system, suspension, and emissions have all met DVSA standards without concern. A buyer should still perform a hands-on inspection for typical age-related deterioration: check for corrosion on subframes and sills, listen for suspension knocks from worn bushes or drop links, and verify brake disc condition and pad thickness. Tyre age and condition also warrant attention, as the MOT record does not detail consumable wear. Overall, this Fiesta’s history suggests a well-maintained example with no underlying mechanical red flags.
