2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SM13 YMC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent inspection on 24 March 2026 at 102,509 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the car has consistently met minimum legal standards following initial test failures. While the record shows instances of failure on the same day as passes, the subsequent clean results suggest the owner is proactive in addressing identified defects to maintain compliance, rather than allowing minor mechanical issues to accumulate. The mileage profile reflects a consistent usage pattern, averaging approximately 7,885 miles per year over the thirteen-year life span. Between the March 2024 test at 87,176 miles and the April 2025 test at 92,150 miles, the vehicle covered 4,974 miles, followed by another 10,359 miles leading into the March 2026 inspection. This steady accumulation indicates regular motor use rather than long periods of stagnation, which is generally beneficial for maintaining seals, bushings, and battery components. Despite the clean record showing no active advisories, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on components prone to wear on Fiesta of this mileage. Given the 100,000-mile milestone, examine the condition of the rear suspension bushes and check for signs of play in the front wishbones. The braking system should be checked for thin discs or sticking calipers, as the MOT record does not explicitly rule out these issues between tests. Inspect the underside for surface corrosion on the structural members to ensure no hidden rust has developed since the last clean pass.
