2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AJ19 UCD

An unusually low usage profile defines this vehicle, which has maintained a consistent record of passing its inspections since 2022. While the most recent test on 19 January 2026 resulted in a pass, the vehicle did initially fail that same day due to a major defect regarding insufficient windscreen washer fluid delivery. Aside from this isolated failure, the MOT history shows a pattern of clean results with no recorded advisories or structural defects across the previous five years of testing. The recorded mileage of 22,765 miles for a 2019 registration indicates an average annual accumulation of approximately 3,252 miles. This level of usage is significantly lower than the UK average and suggests the vehicle has spent considerable time stationary or has been used only for very short-distance trips. Mechanically, such low mileage means that primary drivetrain and suspension components may have low cumulative wear, but it also increases the likelihood of components such as seals, bushes, and tyres ageing due to time rather than distance. Given the specific failure recorded in January 2026, a prospective buyer should verify the functionality of the windscreen washer system. During a test drive, ensure the pump operates correctly and that the nozzles spray a sufficient volume of fluid across the glass without leaking from the reservoir or hoses. While the MOT record is otherwise clear of advisories, the low annual mileage warrants a close inspection of the tyres for any signs of sidewall cracking or perishing, as rubber compounds can degrade when a vehicle is not driven frequently. Because there are no recorded issues with the braking system, suspension linkages, or exhaust emissions, the inspection should focus on ensuring that the lack of regular movement has not led to any seizing of components. Listen for any unusual knocks or knocks from the suspension when driving over uneven surfaces and check that the brake pedal feels firm and consistent without any sponginess or pulsation. The absence of recorded oil leaks or fluid weeping in the MOT history suggests the engine and gearbox seals remain intact, but a visual check for any fresh staining on the underside is advisable.
