2021 Ford Fiesta ST-Line Edition Turbo 1.0L Petrol · AX21 GYV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a successful retest on 29 July 2026 at 39,064 miles. The maintenance trend appears somewhat reactive rather than proactive. While the car passed without defects in 2024 and 2025, the most recent testing cycle shows a sudden decline in attention to mechanical and safety systems. The failure on 28 July 2026 due to thin nearside front brake pads and a fault in the supplementary restraint system indicates that critical wear items and safety electronics were overlooked during the initial inspection. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical low-to-moderate usage pattern for a five-year-old vehicle. The car has covered approximately 39,064 miles, averaging roughly 7,800 miles per year. The data shows steady progression from 27,945 miles in June 2024 to 32,612 miles in June 2025, and finally 39,064 miles in July 2026. This steady climb suggests regular road use rather than long periods of inactivity, which generally benefits the health of rubber components and seals. A prospective buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the braking system and the SRS warning lamp. The July 2026 failure specifically flagged the nearside front brake pads as wearing thin, and although the vehicle passed after this, the underlying cause of the SRS fault requires verification to ensure the airbag system is fully functional. The previous failure on 28 June 2024 for both front tyres being below the 1.6mm legal limit suggests a pattern of running consumables to their absolute limit before replacement. Beyond the recorded faults, the lack of advisories in the 2024 and 2025 tests is a positive indicator of general upkeep. However, given the recent issues with brake wear and electronic warning lights, a thorough check of the brake discs for scoring and a diagnostic scan of the vehicle's safety systems is necessary to confirm the recent repairs were comprehensive.
