2020 Ford Fiesta ST-Line Edition Turbo 1.0L Petrol · AE70 LHF

The Ford Fiesta ST-Line presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 September 2025 at 21,932 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the three prior annual tests from 2023 to 2024 also passed cleanly. The only anomaly is a failed entry logged on 21 September 2023 at 12,290 miles with no defects recorded, which the DVLA system typically generates when a vehicle is presented and then retested the same day; the immediate pass on that date confirms no mechanical fault existed. The mileage pattern reflects very light use for a six-year-old car. The record shows 12,290 miles at the September 2023 test, rising to 17,091 miles by September 2024 and 21,932 miles by September 2025. That equates to roughly 4,800 miles per year across the logged period, below the national average. Low annual accumulation suggests short urban journeys or extended standing periods, which can allow brake calipers to seize and tyres to develop flat spots despite the absence of advisories in the data. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the braking system, suspension bushes, and coil springs given the low mileage and likely intermittent use. The clean MOT history offers no flagged corrosion, exhaust emissions issues, or structural integrity concerns, but the 2023 duplicate failure-with-no-defect entry warrants confirmation that the V5C and DVSA records align before purchase. Given the sparse and clean record, in-person checks should focus on consumable condition rather than major mechanical risk. Inspect tyre sidewalls for cracking from standing, verify brake disc thickness, and confirm the turbocharger boost system shows no oil weep. The previous owner clearly kept the car to a basic statutory test standard with no outstanding advisories carried forward.
