2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · WF63 NHG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred suspension and brake repairs. While it passed its MOT in July 2025 at 62,014 miles, it had failed just four days prior due to multiple mechanical defects. The tester specifically identified excessive wear on the rear axle swivel pins and bushes, which remained unaddressed until the retest. This pattern suggests that the owner only addresses the minimum faults required to pass the test rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 62,014 miles over 13 years, this Fiesta has covered significantly low annual mileage, averaging approximately 4,770 miles per year. The data shows a notable jump of 14,651 miles between June 2024 and July 2025, compared to the 6,353-mile gap between 2023 and 2024. Such low-speed usage often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components and corrosion on braking surfaces, which is consistent with the recurring pitting and scoring on the discs noted throughout the record. A buyer must closely inspect the front suspension geometry, as both front arm ball joints were flagged for play in the 2025 test. The recurring issues with the rear sub-frame pins and axle bushes between 2023 and 2025 indicate that the rear suspension assembly is reaching its structural limit. Furthermore, the brake discs have been noted as pitted and scored for three consecutive years, suggesting the vehicle sits for long periods, allowing rust to etch the metal surfaces. Check the tyres immediately, as the rear pair was near the legal limit in the most recent test, indicating they likely require imminent replacement.
