2022 Ford Fiesta Active Vignale T Mhev 1.0L Petrol · AE22 KLL

A completely unblemished record across all official annual inspections establishes this vehicle as possessing an immaculate baseline of roadworthiness. Across its testing lifespan, which commenced when the vehicle reached three years of age, there have been zero recorded failures and zero advisory items logged by testing stations. The most recent MOT on 21 April 2026 resulted in a clean pass with no defects noted, sustaining a stable, fault-free testing record that aligns with a vehicle still in the early stages of its operational life. With a recorded mileage of 9,373 miles at four years old, the vehicle has averaged approximately 2,343 miles per year. This represents an exceptionally low rate of annual accumulation compared to standard UK passenger car averages. Mechanically, such light usage means that fundamental chassis components, including suspension bushes, ball joints, coil springs, and wheel bearings, have been subjected to minimal dynamic fatigue and physical wear. However, very low annual mileage often indicates either protracted periods of standing or frequent short, urban journeys, both of which place different mechanical demands on a vehicle than regular motorway commuting. Given the absence of historic component advisories on the official record, pre-purchase assessments should focus on verifying the mechanical running condition and checking for secondary effects of low annual mileage. Inspect all four brake discs and calipers through the road wheels to ensure the braking surfaces are clean and free from heavy surface pitting or uneven contact bands, which can occur when vehicles sit idle. During a test drive, apply the brakes progressively from road speeds to check for any pulsing through the pedal, grinding noises, or directional pull that could indicate binding calipers or disc corrosion. Furthermore, ensure the mild-hybrid turbocharged powertrain operates seamlessly, paying close attention to the smooth transition of the integrated starter-generator during stop-start cycles and initial acceleration. Listen for any untoward rattles from the turbocharger wastegate or auxiliary drive components, and verify that the suspension maintains quiet, compliant damping without creaks or knocks when negotiating road humps or uneven surfaces. Because the statutory MOT test strictly assesses minimum roadworthiness standards at a single moment in time and does not verify engine servicing or internal mechanical health, prospective buyers should independently inspect the service documentation to ensure annual engine oil and filter changes were carried out in accordance with manufacturer time intervals rather than mileage milestones alone.
