2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · YP62 ADX

The vehicle failed its most recent MOT on 28 October 2025 at 21,875 miles, confirming it is not roadworthy. The maintenance trend is worsening, as the 2025 failure adds a fractured front coil spring and a tyre cut to earlier perishing sidewalls and persistent suspension corrosion. The Fiesta has accumulated 21,875 miles over 13 years, averaging 1,683 miles annually, which is low for its age. However, mileage rose sharply between 2024 and 2025, adding 2,491 miles in the final year, suggesting increased use or a period of heavy driving that may have accelerated wear. Recurring faults include repeated corrosion of front shock absorber casings and the exhaust system from 2020 onward, alongside persistent tyre perishing and sidewall damage. The 2025 failure also flagged a fractured coil spring and binding rear brakes, pointing to serious suspension and brake concerns that a buyer must verify. A buyer should examine the front suspension for cracked or broken coil springs, check shock absorber condition and bush wear, inspect all four tyres for sidewall cracks, cuts, and tread depth, test the rear brakes for binding or seized calipers, and look for structural rust on the chassis and suspension mounting points. Check that the registration plate is legible and that the headlamp aim meets legal standards.
