2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · SV63 DBU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive repairs rather than preventative care. While it passed its most recent test in July 2025 at 68,495 miles, the failure just two days prior indicates that mechanical defects were previously overlooked. The recurring nature of the offside front brake pipe corrosion across both 2024 and 2025 suggests a long-term issue that the owner only addressed once it threatened to result in an MOT failure. At approximately 13 years old, the recorded mileage of 68,495 miles is notably low, averaging roughly 5,269 miles per year. This low usage suggests the car has seen limited exposure, but it often correlates with accelerated degradation of rubber-based components due to age. The gap between the 2023 test at 57,452 miles and the 2024 test at 62,751 miles shows consistent annual use, yet the suspension began to fail during this period despite the low total mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the offside front braking system, as the tester repeatedly flagged corrosion and contamination on the brake pipe. The history also shows vulnerability in the front suspension geometry, specifically the track rod ends and ball joints, which failed for excessive play and wear in 2025. You should inspect the remaining suspension arm dust covers for tears and check for any play in the steering components to ensure that the previous replacements were not merely temporary fixes for a wider structural issue.
