2013 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · YN13 HKY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a recent shift towards developing brake system issues. The most recent test in May 2026 at 27,350 miles identified both nearside and offside front brake discs as pitted and scored. While these did not cause a failure, they represent a progression from the 2024 test where thin front brake pads were the only recorded defect-related concern. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,100 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2026, the car covered just 4,036 miles, indicating a pattern of infrequent use or long periods of long-term storage. This low usage explains why the mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension remains minimal, but it often leads to surface corrosion on exposed metal components and the degradation of rubber seals due to lack of regular heat cycles and movement. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front braking assembly. The pitting and scoring on the discs noted in the 2026 record suggest the vehicle has sat for extended periods, allowing moisture to corrode the iron surfaces. The inspector should check for seized calipers and ensure the brake pads have not worn unevenly across the degraded disc surfaces. Given the low mileage, attention should also be paid to tyre sidewalls for rot and suspension bushing cracking, as these components fail from age rather than tread wear.
