2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AV69 OLW

The vehicle presents a consistent history of passing tests, though recent records indicate a shift towards requiring more preventative maintenance. In the most recent test in December 2025 at 58,551 miles, the tester flagged multiple issues including an insecure fuel tank heatshield and exhaust box. Furthermore, the offside front, nearside rear, and offside rear tyres were all reaching the legal limit. These findings suggest that while the vehicle remains roadworthy, basic consumable upkeep and secondary hardware are nearing the end of their service life and require immediate attention. At seven years old with 58,551 miles, the Fiesta averages approximately 8,300 miles per year, which aligns with typical UK usage patterns for a small hatchback. The mileage progression shows steady use, with roughly 10,000 miles recorded between the November 2022 test at 28,544 miles and the 2023 test. This consistent operation reduces the likelihood of component degradation caused by long periods of standing, though it places standard wear on the braking and suspension systems expected for this engine mileage. The mechanical record highlights a specific concern in November 2023 at 39,012 miles, where the nearside front brake disc was noted as pitted and scored. While this passed the subsequent test, it indicates a history of surface corrosion or abrasive wear on the braking assembly. Given the recent advisories regarding heat shields and tyre depth, a buyer should verify the structural integrity of the exhaust mounting points and ensure a full set of tyres is fitted to avoid immediate failure at the next inspection.
