2019 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AX19 XSV

The 2019 Ford Fiesta has maintained a consistent MOT pass record across five tests, with the most recent inspection on 18 September 2025—just under a year ago—confirming no defects were recorded at 26,237 miles. This suggests the vehicle has undergone regular servicing and passed all statutory checks without major mechanical or structural failings. The absence of advisories or recurring issues in the record implies the previous owner adhered to basic maintenance, though the lack of faults does not preclude hidden wear on high-wear components like suspension bushes or brake pads, which are not routinely inspected during an MOT. The recorded mileage of 26,237 miles over seven years equates to approximately 3,748 miles annually, a figure significantly lower than the UK average for a vehicle of this age. The most notable gap between tests occurs between the May 2022 (17,095 miles) and September 2022 (19,855 miles) inspections, where the car sat idle for nearly four months without movement. While this period does not necessarily indicate neglect, it raises a question about storage conditions—potential corrosion or battery discharge could have occurred. No advisories during this time suggest the vehicle was either stored in a dry environment or maintained during the lay-up. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components, particularly the rear bushes and coil springs, as these are not MOT-tested but critical for ride quality and handling. The brakes, though not failed, may require assessment for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for extended periods. Tyres, while not flagged, should be checked for uneven tread wear or signs of age-related degradation, as the low mileage could mask deeper issues. Finally, a thorough examination of the underbody for corrosion—particularly around wheel arches and sills—is warranted, given the potential for rust progression during periods of inactivity.
