2022 Ford Fiesta ST-Line Turbo Mhev Auto 1.0L Petrol · AA14 MAL

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 06 February 2026 with no defects recorded. This follows a clean pass in May 2025, indicating an exceptionally stable maintenance trend. The absence of any recorded defects or advisories across the most recent inspections suggests that the vehicle's essential safety systems, including lighting, braking, and steering, are in good working order. This consistency points toward a vehicle that has been kept in a high state of compliance and has not been subject to the mechanical degradation typically seen in poorly maintained or heavily abused examples. The recorded mileage of 28,817 miles over approximately four years represents an average annual usage of roughly 7,200 miles. This is considered a moderate to low mileage profile, which is generally favourable for the longevity of the turbocharger and the mild-hybrid electric motor components. While the lower mileage implies less wear on consumables like brake pads and suspension bushes, it is important to consider that low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from the effects of infrequent use, such as fluid degradation or component stagnation. As the MOT history is entirely clean, your physical inspection should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear-induced failures. Closely examine the tyres for any signs of perishing or sidewall cracking, which can occur due to age and UV exposure even if the tread depth remains high. You should also inspect the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or pitting, especially if the car has been parked for extended periods, as this can lead to binding calipers or a shuddering sensation through the pedal during braking. Given the mild-hybrid (MHEV) powertrain, it is prudent to verify the health of the 12V battery and ensure the charging system is functioning correctly, as low-usage patterns can sometimes lead to battery degradation. Ensure that the service history is documented and reflects time-based intervals, such as oil changes and brake fluid replacements, which are critical regardless of the low mileage. During the test drive, listen for any clunks from the suspension or irregularities in the automatic transmission's shift points to confirm that the hybrid integration and drivetrain are operating as intended.
