2020 Ford Fiesta Titanium Turbo Mhev 1.0L Petrol · BT70 AEL

The vehicle demonstrates a generally stable maintenance record, with the most recent MOT on 2025-10-04 confirming roadworthiness despite minor issues. Light oil misting on the nearside rear shock absorbers and tyres worn close to legal limits indicate routine wear but no critical failures. No major defects were recorded in the 2024-10-18 or 2023-11-06 tests, though a prior failure in 2023-11-06 related to headlamp aim suggests the owner addressed alignment issues promptly. The trend shows no worsening of structural or mechanical concerns, though recurring tyre wear and suspension components merit closer scrutiny. Mileage progression aligns with typical usage, averaging 7,477 miles annually. The 2024-10-18 test at 34,698 miles followed a 2023-11-06 test at 27,824 miles, reflecting a 6,874-mile increase over 11 months, which is reasonable. The 2025-10-04 test added 10,163 miles in 12 months, slightly above average but not extreme. No significant gaps in testing or rapid mileage spikes are evident, and the absence of major defects between 2023 and 2025 suggests consistent upkeep. However, the repeated tyre wear and suspension-related advisories imply potential neglect in monitoring component longevity. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the rear suspension for excessive wear, particularly the shock absorbers, and verify that the tyres are replaced before reaching legal limits. The headlamp alignment should be rechecked to ensure compliance, as the 2023 failure indicates a history of misalignment. Structural integrity appears unimpaired, with no corrosion or frame damage mentioned, but a thorough underbody inspection is advised to confirm absence of hidden rust. Brake systems and exhaust emissions should also be tested, as minor issues in earlier records may indicate broader maintenance patterns.
