2019 Ford Fiesta 1.5L Petrol · BW69 OKO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred attention regarding consumable components. While the most recent test on January 3 2026 at 40,856 miles passed, it carried advisories for worn front tyres and light misting on both rear shock absorbers. This mirrors the findings from January 2025 at 35,239 miles, indicating that the previous owner has not addressed these issues despite repeated warnings. At 40,856 miles over seven years, the Fiesta has averaged approximately 5,800 miles per year, which is significantly below the national average. However, the data shows a notable gap in usage between January 2023 and December 2023, where the car covered only 5,392 miles in nearly eleven months. This low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain, but it often correlates with the degradation of rubber components, as seen with the failure in January 2023 where front tyre tread depth was found below the legal limit. A buyer must personally inspect the rear shock absorbers closely, as the persistent misting reported across two consecutive years suggests the seals are beginning to fail and will eventually require replacement. The front braking system also requires scrutiny; the December 2023 test flagged thin pads and pitted discs, and the buyer should verify if these were replaced since then or allowed to deteriorate. Given the recurring advisory for worn edge tyres in 2025 and 2026, a wheel check is necessary to ensure the suspension is not causing uneven tyre wear.
