2022 Ford Fiesta Titanium Vignale T Mhev 1.0L Petrol · NC22 DOH

The most recent DVSA MOT test for this 2022 Ford Fiesta was conducted on 9 June 2026 and resulted in a pass, with a single advisory issued regarding the front tyres being worn close to the legal limit and showing wear on the shoulders, with the examiner noting a possible link to under inflation. Although the test outcome itself does not suggest any urgent mechanical concerns, the advisory does flag a maintenance or usage point that warrants attention prior to purchase. The previous recorded test on 3 July 2025 also resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory concerning undertrays fitted to the vehicle. Taken together, the MOT history reflects a vehicle that has maintained a clean pass record over successive tests without any advisories relating to structural corrosion, braking efficiency, suspension wear, or exhaust emissions, indicating a generally stable maintenance profile. The advisory relating to the front tyres is the only item of mechanical relevance and should be considered alongside any present-day inspection of the rubber. With regard to mileage, the vehicle has covered 17,449 miles over approximately four years, which equates to an annual average of around 4,362 miles. This figure sits well below the typical annual mileage for a vehicle of this type and age, suggesting either predominantly short urban journeys, light personal use, or extended periods of standing between uses. Such a usage pattern has implications for wear progression: low mileage typically means that mechanical wear items such as brake discs, pads, and clutch friction material will have experienced less frictional use, but it also means that standing time can introduce its own set of age-related concerns. Conversely, the recorded mileage is consistent and there are no unusual fluctuations or gaps in the data that would suggest a clocked or inconsistent vehicle history. Given the relatively low annual mileage and the vehicle being four years old, several age- and usage-related checks should be prioritised during a physical inspection. Tyre condition should be assessed beyond the advisory noted on the most recent test, as low-mileage vehicles frequently suffer from sidewall perishing and cracking due to age rather than tread wear, particularly on rear tyres that may have been used sparingly. Brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion and the calipers checked for binding, as vehicles that stand for prolonged periods commonly develop pitted or corroded discs along with seized slider mechanisms, which may manifest as a shudder or vibration under braking on the test drive. The 12 volt battery should be tested for state of health, since repeated short journeys or extended standing periods prevent full charging cycles and accelerate battery degradation, and the condition of the underbonnet, exhaust mounting rubbers, and coolant hoses should be examined for signs of perished or hardened rubber consistent with age. The mild hybrid powertrain of this MHEV variant does not introduce any MOT-testable elements beyond the standard inspection, but it is prudent to verify that any hybrid system warning lights are absent and that the start stop and mild hybrid assistance functions operate as expected during a road test. Fluids and filters should be confirmed as being serviced in line with calendar intervals rather than purely mileage based, as the low annual mileage means that engine oil, brake fluid, and coolant will all degrade over time regardless of the odometer reading. Service history stamps should be verified to confirm that the manufacturer schedule has been adhered to. Finally, on the road, particular attention should be paid to any clonks from the suspension, uneven braking response, unusual vibrations from the front end consistent with the tyre advisory, and any hesitation or warning illumination from the hybrid system, as these would indicate that the age-related issues typical of low-mileage vehicles are beginning to manifest.
