2013 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · YF63 OBM

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward reactive repairs as the car reaches higher mileage. The most recent test in December 2025 at 113,967 miles introduced multiple advisories regarding worn tyres and slightly worn rear axle bushes. This marks a departure from the period of clean records seen between 2022 and 2024, suggesting that components are now reaching the end of their functional life and require proactive attention. The mileage pattern is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 8,700 miles per year. There is a steady accumulation of mileage from 22,582 miles in late 2016 to over 113,000 miles in late 2025. A jump of roughly 16,400 miles between the December 2024 and December 2025 tests indicates a recent increase in annual usage, which likely explains the accelerated wear observed on rubber suspension components and braking systems. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the rear suspension, as the axle bushes were flagged in the latest test and the anti-roll bar linkage shows a history of failure from 2018. The tester previously noted low front brake pads in 2021, so the current state of the discs and pads must be verified to ensure they have not become recurring issues due to thin material. Furthermore, with tyres consistently failing or reaching the legal limit in 2017, 2018, and 2025, the tread depth and age of all four tyres should be checked before purchase to avoid immediate costs.
