2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SH13 ADX

This 2013 Ford Fiesta presents a remarkably clean MOT record, indicating a stable and well-maintained vehicle. The most recent test in August 2025 at 77,421 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a same-day failure that also listed no defects. This pattern suggests the initial failure was likely an administrative or procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle was promptly rectified. The overall maintenance trend is stable and positive, with no recurring mechanical problems evident across the last three annual tests. The recorded mileage of 77,421 miles over 13 years equates to roughly 5,955 miles per year, which is below average for a vehicle of this age. This lower annual mileage suggests the car has seen light, consistent use rather than prolonged standing or heavy commuting. The mileage accumulation between tests is steady, with gaps of 4,207 miles between 2023 and 2024, and 3,625 miles between 2024 and 2025, which aligns with typical annual driving patterns. There are no sudden jumps or suspicious gaps in the odometer readings. Given the faultless MOT history, a pre-purchase inspection should focus on items that commonly degrade with age rather than mileage. Pay close attention to the condition of rubber suspension components, such as lower arm bushes and anti-roll bar drop links, which can crack and split over time. Also inspect the brake discs and pads for corrosion or binding, particularly if the car has stood idle for periods. A thorough check for structural corrosion on the sills, subframes, and suspension mounting points is advisable, as these areas can deteriorate silently on a vehicle of this age.
