2019 Ford Fiesta 1.1L Petrol · CP19 HFG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 33,735 miles passed with only minor cosmetic advisories regarding a deteriorated rear registration plate and an obstructed view. This represents a stable trend compared to the previous year, where a mechanical issue was identified but does not appear to have been addressed by the subsequent inspection. At 33,735 miles over seven years, this Fiesta has covered an average of approximately 4,800 miles per year. This low-usage profile often leads to accelerated degradation of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from distance. The May 2022 test at 15,989 miles flagged all four tyres for cracking in the tread, a classic sign of a vehicle standing stationary for long periods. By the 2023 test at 24,608 miles, all four tyres had reached the legal wear limit and showed uneven edge wear, suggesting the owner neglected tyre replacement until a failure was imminent. A buyer must physically inspect the suspension system, specifically checking the nearside rear shock absorber which was noted for misting in August 2024. While misting is not an immediate failure, it indicates a seal beginning that will eventually worsen. Given the history of uneven tyre wear and aged rubber, a professional alignment check is necessary to ensure the geometry is not out of specification. Additionally, the low mileage increases the likelihood of brake disc corrosion or seized calipers, which frequently occur on vehicles that sit without regular use.
