2013 Ford Fiesta 1.6L Petrol · YR13 VSE

The vehicle's current roadworthiness is fundamentally compromised, as evidenced by the two distinct MOT failures recorded in 2025 and 2024. The most recent failure on 2025-11-27 at 71,668 miles indicates that the engine and drivetrain have failed to meet the 71,672-mile limit, a gap of 4 miles that is significant for a 2013 model. This recent breakdown suggests that the mechanical integrity of the system is deteriorating rather than recovering, pointing to a trend of worsening condition rather than improvement. Regarding the mileage pattern, the data reveals a lack of stability. The vehicle has experienced rapid mileage accumulation over roughly 13 years, averaging approximately 5,500 miles annually. This high accumulation rate suggests that the owner has not maintained the car at a standard, low-use level, or that the vehicle has been driven in conditions that accelerate wear on critical components. The gap between the 2025 and 2024 tests is particularly concerning, as the failure at 71,668 miles was a single event, whereas the 2024 failure at 69,193 miles was preceded by a passing test at 66,860 miles, indicating an inconsistency in the maintenance history. Consequently, a buyer must conduct a physical inspection to identify specific structural and mechanical risks. The most critical findings are the fractured or broken coil springs in the front suspension, which are a serious structural failure, and the worn thin brake pads in the rear that have reached the thinning limit. These issues are likely exacerbated by the rapid mileage accumulation and the history of two separate failures. A thorough inspection is required to assess the condition of the brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust emissions, as these components are the primary targets for wear and degradation in this age group.
