2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · VA13 KME

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the most recent MOT data. The latest test conducted in-January 2026 at 91,427 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the car currently meets the minimum safety standards. While there was a recorded failure in January 2025, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the owner addressed the identified faults promptly to return the vehicle to the road. The mileage pattern is remarkably consistent for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,000 miles per year. Between January 2023 at 68,293 miles and January 2026 at 91,427 miles, the car covered 23,134 miles, showing a steady rate of use rather than long periods of stagnation or sudden heavy-duty usage. This predictable usage profile generally benefits mechanical components like the drivetrain and suspension, though it necessitates checking for the dry-rot or rubber oxidisation often associated with lower-mileage older cars. Since the MOT history shows no recurring advisories or structural failures over the years, a physical inspection should focus on typical wear items for a Ford Fiesta of this age and mileage. The buyer should examine the condition of the suspension bushes and check for common corrosion on the rear arches and sills, as the MOT does not always catch surface rust. Given the clean record, verifying the brake system for uneven thinning or binding calipers is essential to ensure the maintenance standard matches the digital history.
