Our Verdict
Proceed with significant caution. This F
If you are considering this vehicle, you must negotiate the price downwards to account for potential upcoming maintenance. Prioritise checking the service history to see if the recurring brake and suspension issues noted in the MOT records have been addressed with parts rather than just temporary fixes.
Ask the seller specifically about the recent brake disc and lamp failures recorded in April 2026. Given the history of exhaust and suspension mounting corrosion, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is essential to ensure the structural integrity of the chassis and suspension components is not compromised beyond the 'not seriously weakened' levels noted in previous tests.
As a 1.5L diesel, this Fiesta is likely to offer decent fuel economy for motorway driving, though costs will depend on your annual mileage. Tax and insurance groups for a 2013 1.5 TDCi typically fall into mid-range brackets for this segment.
Maintenance costs may be higher than average due to the pattern of wear seen in the MOT history, specifically regarding brakes, tyres, and suspension parts. You should budget for more frequent replacements of consumables like brake discs, pads, and tyres based on the recorded failure trends.
A critical area of inspection is the underside of the vehicle. The MOT history shows a pattern of corrosion on Macpherson struts, rear suspension component mountings, and brake pipes. You must check if this corrosion is progressing.
Secondly, inspect the braking system thoroughly. The vehicle has had recent failures for imbalanced brakes, worn discs, and thin pads. Finally, examine the tyres and wheels; the 2025 record showed multiple failures for tyre tears, cuts, and being worn close to the legal limit, indicating a potential pattern of deferred maintenance regarding tyre safety.
This 2013 silver Ford Fiesta 1.5L diesel has covered 87,799 miles as of April 2026. While its mileage is higher than the model average of 5,770 per year, the primary concern is the frequency of MOT failures, particularly the heavy list of advisories and failures seen in March 2025. The vehicle has faced recurring issues with brake components, tyre integrity, and structural corrosion.
Aggregate data for this model shows an average MOT pass rate of 77.7%, with common failure points being headlamps, exhausts, and coil springs.
