2013 Ford Fiesta 1.2L Petrol · YR63 WCL

The 1.2L petrol engine is designed for efficiency, typically offering low fuel consumption for urban driving. As a 2013 model, it will fall into a standard tax bracket for its emissions, and the Fiesta generally sits in a lower insurance group, making it affordable for new or young drivers.

Typical maintenance will involve standard consumables like tyres and brakes, though the recurring coil spring issues seen in this vehicle's history highlight a common model-specific expense. Annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, are estimated to be moderate.

Pay close attention to the rear suspension; the MOT history specifically identifies corrosion on both the nearside and offside rear coil springs across multiple years. A visual inspection should be carried out to see if the corrosion has progressed to a point where the springs are at risk of snapping.

Additionally, check the front suspension arm ball joints and the condition of the front tyres, both of which were flagged as issues in March 2024. Finally, check under the vehicle for the exhaust heat shield, which was recorded as loose in two places during the 2025 test, to ensure it has been properly secured.
