FORD FIESTA2010 · 1.6L DIESEL

The vehicle's most recent MOT test on 26 February 2026 at 79,366 miles resulted in a clean pass, with only a minor exhaust gas leak at the rear silencer noted. This is the same exhaust issue that caused a previous advisory in 2024, indicating a persistent leak that has not been repaired. The low annual mileage of approximately 4,960 miles per year suggests the car has seen minimal use, which typically preserves components but can also indicate prolonged periods of standing. However, the tyre condition in earlier tests shows a concerning pattern: the offside front tyre was close to the legal limit in 2024, and the offside rear tyre had visible cracking in 2023. These issues, if left unaddressed, could lead to sudden failure. Given the vehicle's age and the unresolved exhaust leak, a buyer should arrange a pre-purchase inspection to verify the repair of the exhaust system and to check the tyre tread depth and structural integrity of the suspect tyres.
