2020 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AV70 KHA

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 24 September 2025 with no defects recorded. Reviewing the history back to 2023, the maintenance trend is exceptionally stable, with three consecutive clean passes and a total absence of advisories. This suggests a vehicle that has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from the common wear-and-tear failures typically associated with this model, such as suspension bush degradation or exhaust system leaks. The recorded mileage of 24,990 miles over approximately six years is significantly lower than the UK average, averaging roughly 4,165 miles per year. While low mileage generally implies reduced mechanical wear on the engine, drivetrain, and interior trim, it also indicates that the car may have spent extended periods stationary. Such usage patterns can lead to specific issues that are not always captured during a standard MOT test, particularly regarding components that degrade based on a calendar timeline rather than through active use. Given the clean MOT record and low usage, the buyer should focus on age-related degradation. It is essential to closely inspect the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as rubber compounds can harden and lose structural integrity over time even if the tread depth remains well within legal limits. The buyer should also examine the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion or evidence of binding calipers, which often occurs when a vehicle is not driven frequently enough to keep the braking system clear of oxidation and debris. Furthermore, the service history must be verified to ensure that engine oil and other essential fluids have been changed according to time intervals rather than mileage alone, as oil degrades chemically regardless of distance travelled. The health of the 12V battery should be checked, as infrequent use or short journeys can lead to undercharging and premature failure. During the test drive, the buyer should ensure the engine reaches operating temperature smoothly and listen for any unusual noises that might suggest carbon build-up or lubricant stagnation resulting from a low-mileage lifestyle.
