2013 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · SH13 UPD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed the most recent test in August 2025 at 98,779 miles, this followed a failure just one month prior due to a fractured offside front coil spring. The persistence of a central front oil leak and a recurring TPMS warning light across multiple years indicates that several underlying mechanical and electrical faults have not been fully addressed or rectified by the owner. At 98,779 miles over 13 years, the car has averaged approximately 7,600 miles per year, which is consistent with typical UK usage for a small hatchback. The data shows a significant gap in mileage between July 2023 and July 2024, where over 5,000 miles were covered, followed by more consistent annual accumulation thereafter. While the low mileage suggests less engine wear, the age of the vehicle means that rubber components and seals are subject to degradation irrespective of the distance driven. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension, as the history reveals repeated issues with the track rod ends, lower suspension arm ball joints, and coil springs. The recurring oil leak requires a professional assessment to determine if it is a simple seal leak or a more significant gasket failure. Additionally, the rear brake pads should be checked immediately as they were noted as wearing thin in 2024, and the TPMS light should be diagnosed to ensure it is not masking a slow pressure leak in one of the tyres.
