2016 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · SUE 620G

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a recurring trend of deferred attention regarding braking components and minor lighting. The most recent test in February 2026 at 55,179 miles identified pitted and scored front brake discs alongside an inoperative offside registration plate lamp. While the car passed, the persistence of brake disc corrosion across multiple years suggests the owner only addresses components when they reach a failure threshold rather than performing preventative maintenance. At 55,179 miles over ten years, this Fiesta has clocked significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 5,500 miles per annum. The usage pattern appears consistent, with a gap of roughly 2,300 miles between the February 2025 and 2026 tests. This low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox, yet the low use frequency often leads to accelerated corrosion on metal surfaces and dry rubber components, which is evidenced by the wear on axle swivel pins and bushes noted in 2025. A prospective buyer must conduct a close inspection of the front braking system, as the pitting and scoring have appeared in 2022, 2024, and 2026. The 2024 advisory regarding a corroded offside rear coil spring requires a physical check for structural integrity to ensure the rust has not progressed to a fracture. Furthermore, the 2022 report of inner-edge tyre wear across all four corners indicates a past alignment or suspension geometry fault that should be verified to prevent premature tyre replacement.
