2022 Ford Fiesta Trend Turbo Mhev 1.0L Petrol · CK22 YMU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recurring failure to address consumable wear proactively. The most recent test in April 2026 at 18,606 miles resulted in a failure due to a low headlamp aim and a nearside front outer tyre reaching the legal limit. While the vehicle passed the immediate retest, the persistence of the tyre issue across two years suggests the owner neglected basic maintenance until forced by an inspection failure. At 18,606 miles over four years, this Fiesta has covered significantly low mileage, averaging approximately 4,650 miles per annum. The gap between the April 2025 test at 14,222 miles and the April 2026 test shows an accumulation of 4,384 miles. This consistent low usage typically implies less strain on the drivetrain and suspension but can sometimes lead to flat-spotted tyres or brake disc corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for long periods between journeys. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and alignment, given that the nearside front tyre was flagged for being worn on the edge in both 2025 and 2026. This specific wear pattern often indicates an underlying tracking issue, worn bushes, or a faulty control arm that will continue to consume rubber prematurely. Verify the headlamp adjustment to ensure the recent failure was properly rectified, and check the brake discs for surface pitting, which is common in low-mileage vehicles that are not used frequently.
