2020 Ford Fiesta 1.0L Petrol · AX69 FMZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, following a clean MOT pass on 21 January 2026 at 90,550 miles. The maintenance trend shows a positive shift from reactive repairs to proactive upkeep. While previous years saw recurring failures due to neglected consumable items, the most recent inspection recorded no defects whatsoever, suggesting that the current owner is addressing safety-critical wear items before they result in a test-day failure. The mileage profile is high for a six-year-old Fiesta, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per year. The accumulation accelerated significantly between January 2024 and January 2025, where the car covered over 26,000 miles in twelve months. This high rate of use suggests consistent motorway driving, which typically places less strain on the clutch and suspension compared to short city trips, though the consistent annual testing interval indicates the vehicle has not sat stationary for long periods, which helps prevent the degradation of rubber components. A buyer must perform a close physical inspection of the tyres, as the history shows a persistent pattern of poor tread depth and structural damage at 30,988, 46,946, and 73,429 miles. The tester previously flagged a nearside front tyre reaching the cords and a perished nearside rear tyre, indicating a history of ignoring tyre condition until it became illegal. Additionally, while the 2024 failure for thin front brake pads was rectified, the buyer should check the remaining pad thickness and ensure the brake calipers haven't caused uneven wear. Given the high mileage, the inspection should also cover the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of premature fatigue. The MOT record does not report structural corrosion yet, but the rapid accumulation of 90,000 miles justifies checking the drivetrain and exhaust system for any leaks or excessive vibration that a standard MOT might not have caught.
