Our Verdict

A solid purchase option for those seekin

When inspecting this 1.2L Fiesta, focus on the service history to complement the clean MOT record. While the MOT shows no failures, it does not confirm if regular oil changes or scheduled maintenance have been performed. Check for a stamped service book or digital records to ensure the engine has been properly maintained.

Given the vehicle is approaching the 100,000-mile mark, you should negotiate based on upcoming major maintenance items. Ask the seller if the timing belt (cam belt) and water pump have been replaced, as these are critical components on this engine size that typically require attention around this mileage.

The 1242cc petrol engine is generally positioned in a lower insurance group, making it an economical choice for newer drivers or small families. Fuel economy for this era of Fiesta is typically respectable for a non-turbo petrol engine, though actual figures will depend on driving style and load.

Maintenance costs for Fiestas are generally considered moderate due to the wide availability of parts. You should budget for regular consumables like tyres, brake pads, and wipers. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, sits in the mid-range for a small petrol car.

While this vehicle has no recorded MOT failures, you should be aware of common issues seen across the wider Ford Fiesta model aggregate. Specifically, check the condition of the headlamps, exhaust system, and coil springs, as these are the most frequent failure points for this model type.

Physically inspect the red paintwork for any signs of fading or clear coat issues, and check the tyres for even wear, which can indicate suspension or alignment problems. Since the last MOT in March 2026 showed no defects, the immediate mechanical safety appears consistent with previous years, but a professional pre-purchase inspection is always recommended.

This 2013 red Ford Fiesta 1.25L petrol has covered 97,849 miles as of its most recent MOT in March 2026. The MOT history for this specific registration, WF13BDX, is notable for having zero recorded defects or failures across its last five annual tests. While the mileage is higher than the model average of 5,835 miles per year, the consistency of the pass rate is a key feature of this particular car.

The Ford Fiesta shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.6% across 1.5 million analysed vehicles, with common failures relating to lighting, exhausts, and springs.
