2022 Ford Fiesta Trend Turbo 1.0L Petrol · CA22 LEC

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT test on 25 February 2026, following a clean pass in March 2025. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, with the vehicle demonstrating a consistent ability to meet roadworthiness standards. The presence of a single advisory regarding tyre wear in the latest report does not indicate a systemic failure of components but rather a routine consumable wear item that requires attention. The recorded mileage of 12,768 miles over approximately four years is significantly lower than the national average, equating to roughly 3,192 miles per annum. While this suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine, gearbox, and suspension bushings, such low usage often implies the vehicle has spent extended periods stationary or has been used primarily for short, urban journeys. This usage profile can lead to specific degradation patterns that differ from high-mileage wear. Regarding the specific advisory for the offside front tyre, the note that it is worn on the edge suggests a potential tracking or wheel alignment issue. During a test drive, the buyer should listen for abnormal road noise and check if the vehicle pulls to one side when the steering wheel is centred. It is recommended to have the four-wheel alignment verified to prevent premature wear on a replacement tyre. Due to the low annual mileage, particular attention must be paid to time-based degradation. Inspect all tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as rubber compounds harden with age regardless of tread depth. Check the brake discs for heavy surface corrosion and ensure the calipers are not binding, which can occur when a vehicle stands for long periods. Finally, verify the service history to ensure oil and filter changes have been performed based on the manufacturer's calendar intervals rather than mileage alone, and test the 12V battery health to ensure it has not been depleted by infrequent use.
