2013 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · ST02 ADA

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent testing data. The latest MOT test conducted on 17 May 2025 at 56,588 miles passed with no recorded defects, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a clean pass in May 2024 at 53,823 miles, suggesting that the vehicle has been maintained in a consistent condition over the last three years of operation. At 56,588 miles over thirteen years, this Fiesta has averaged approximately 4,353 miles per year. This low usage profile is significantly below the national average for its age, which typically implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components. The mileage record shows consistent usage patterns, with a gap of roughly 3,700 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests. The brief failure recorded on 11 May 2024 at 53,785 miles was rectified quickly, as the vehicle passed just one week later, indicating the owner is proactive in addressing immediate mechanical requirements. A buyer should focus physical inspection on risks associated with low-mileage, older vehicles, such as rubber degradation and fluid age. Because the car has sat frequently, the suspension bushes, tyre boots, and tyres should be checked for cracking or perish despite potentially low tread depth. Inspection of the brake discs for surface rust or pitting is also necessary to ensure calipers have not seized during periods of stationary use. Given the history shows no structural advisories for corrosion, the integrity of the chassis appears sound, but a visual check of the under sills remains standard to confirm no hidden rust has developed in the absence of frequent driving.
