2021 Ford Fiesta Trend 1.1L Petrol · AM13 HAM

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 2 April 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. Reviewing the history back to 2024, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, with three consecutive clean passes. This indicates a vehicle that has been kept in a roadworthy condition without the emergence of common wear-and-tear issues typically seen in this model, suggesting a high standard of care or very light operational demand. The recorded mileage of 22,572 miles is significantly lower than the national average for a five-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 4,514 miles per year. While this low usage implies minimal wear on the engine internals, gearbox, and clutch, it also suggests the car may have spent extended periods stationary or been used primarily for short, urban journeys. Such usage patterns can sometimes be more taxing on certain components than consistent motorway mileage. Given the clean MOT record and low mileage, the physical inspection should focus on components that degrade with age rather than use. It is essential to examine the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or ozone cracking, as tyres can lose their structural integrity over time even if the tread depth remains legal. The brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, and the pedal feel during a test drive should be checked for any signs of binding calipers or a spongy response resulting from moisture ingress in the brake fluid. Attention should also be paid to the 12V battery health and the vehicle service history. Low-mileage cars often suffer from battery sulfation if not regularly charged, so a voltage test is recommended. Furthermore, the buyer must verify that engine oil and other critical fluids have been changed according to the manufacturer's calendar-based intervals rather than mileage alone, as oil degrades over time. Finally, a thorough check of the suspension bushes and rubber seals is advised to ensure they have not dried out or cracked due to inactivity.
